This shrub grows very well in xeric gardens. The white flowers attract numerous species of small bees and wasps so it may be best to plant it away from walkways, doorways, etc. if you (or your guests) are afraid of these insects. This is one of the earliest shrubs to begin leafing out in the spring in the southwest U.S. Intermountain zone. The plant emits a very pleasant smell after a rain.
