| Posted by tabbycat (Youngsville, LA - Zone 9b) on Sep 15, 2018 1:48 PM I bought a 12-inch plant last fall 2017 from Almost Eden plants. It's Sept. a year later and it's grown to 4 ft. with side branching to about 2 ft.wide. It started flowering Aug. 18th, a month ago, and is now full of similarly fragrant, but different looking flowers than my night blooming variety. Actually, my night blooming that blooms off and on spring to fall is in bloom, too, at this time, so I'm thrilled to have that intoxicating fragrance day and night on my patio.
