This blooms in late summer and fall and the rich, honeysuckle-like fragrance fills the evening air from the 2", butterfly-like white flowers. The stalks emerge from a thick, slowly growing rhizome and grow through the spring and summer. In late summer, the pinecone-like buds form atop the stems. Soon the flowers emerge, a few each day, to perfume the air until the first heavy frost. Most of the soil will be removed before shipping.
