Fast-growing evergreen shrub (deciduous in cold climates) with nearly thornless, vine-like branches growing to 15-20’ long. This popular landscape favorite features long, gracefully arching branches of bright-green foliage and is prized for its profuse, eye-catching display of lightly-scented, clustered double white flowers that appear mid-spring into summer. Versatile and heat tolerant with few known pests or diseases, this popular landscape variety is well-suited for fences, arbors, trellises or as a large, sprawling slope planting. While able to tolerate dryer conditions and poor soils, this variety performs best in a rich, well-drained soil with regular watering and full sun exposure.
USDA Zone: 6A-11
