Obtained seeds a year ago, they took over 4 months to germinate, even after chill treatment. Do not know if it is worth planting out 2 in tall shrubs, that's all the growth obtained in 8 months.

These are widely planted throughout Ohio. Their attractive form, as well as their fragrant, airy white/cream color blossoms are now gracing many a curb and parking lot.

They seem to handle salt, vehicle exhaust, and intense sunlight well. I have yet to see them afflicted by pests or damaged by weather.

It's nice being able to step out of your vehicle and smell something pleasant instead of normal parking lot smells.

I have not seen s. reticulata set seed.
