Overview

It stays compact at roughly 1 m (3 ft 3 in) both tall and wide, which makes it easy to fit into a mixed border or a large pot. The flowers carry a moderate fragrance. It gained the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2012. Prune in late winter to keep a tidy shape, and feed and water well through the growing season.
