Read detailed description :

Average growth. Very floriferous plant because of its infertility. In June-Jully, its beautiful large, white and bright flower have a sweet perfume. Their single star-shaped corolla with four petals measure 5 to 6 cm diameter and are purple pink around the centered clump of yellow stamens. Its oval pointed green leaves are 3 to 5 cm long. This medium sized shrub is upright and its branches droop at their end if we let them grow.
