A year cycle in the life of ...... at Stonehenge Planted along the house back side. -Winter 2014 temperature dropped to 9F degrees, colder than the Zone stated for this area. The plants suffer loosing all leaves, deer also starved and resorted to much on these plants prior. The shrubs look like a totally dead plant come early spring. -June 2014, plants are back but no flowers this year. I have spray and place deer repelent in the soil to prevent deer damage. Come winter I will cover the plants for frost protection.

A upright habit, shiny, dark green leaves and fragrant, white 2 to 3 inch flowers make this a fine foundation plant that thrives with more direct sun than other varieties. Flower buds resist late spring frosts without damage.
