The blossoms are 2.5 to 3 inches and are in clusters on short stems. Size and bloom period vary with sun quality and fertilizer. In the wild, the blossoms were barely half that size. Downwind with a gentle breeze, the fragrance is especially pleasant but not overpowering.
The master clump in the backyard has been cut to almost ground level a few times and always comes back strong. The blossoms seem to be always on new growth so the trimming is a rejuvenator. The clump pictured is one of two in the front yard, both started from suckers. A good cutting expert could probably achieve the same results.
Last year, I sent samples to two DG members but have not checked this year to see if they survived.
