Large-sized shrubs can anchor a perennial bed or form a hedge. Butterflies and bees will flock to the honey-scented blossoms, whose dilute nectar is sweetest in midday sun. Near a path or patio, the shrub provides delightful fragrance for you, too. Another reason for its popularity is that it's easy to grow. It tolerates urban pollution and alkaline soil. It's generally pest-free. It performs adequately in spare soil but prefers a sunny spot with well-drained soil, a light application of fertilizer in spring, and a few deep waterings in summer.
