Longtime favorite perennial!

Longtime favorite perennial! Extremely cold hardy and carefree.
Sweet-smelling blossoms cover the glossy foliage in late spring. Flowers
best when planted in full sun; prefers light shade in Southern regions.
Reaches its mature bloom about the third season. Forms a dense
hedge 2-3 ft. tall with an equal spread; creates a striking backdrop for
your perennials. Zones 3-8. No. 1 root divisions with 2-3 eyes.
