Know before you buy
This shrub typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet. Its size makes it a great candidate for large containers, which also makes it easier to move indoors when temperatures drop.
Yes, you can grow it in colder climates as long as you treat it as a container plant. Simply bring the pot indoors before the first frost and keep it in a spot that stays above 40°F during the winter.
While the plant blooms from spring through fall, its signature intoxicating fragrance is most potent at night. It is an excellent choice for placing near a patio or bedroom window where you can enjoy the scent during evening hours.
This variety thrives in full sun. To ensure the best display of its double, golden-orange flowers, place it in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
The flowers are relatively low-maintenance, but because this plant is a heavy bloomer from spring through fall, it appreciates consistent moisture and regular fertilization during the growing season to support its continuous display.
