Add Your Opinion About This Plant
I added this plant to my zone 11 butterfly garden as a host for the butterflies i hope it will attract. My opinion about the plant depends on whether or not it attracts the butterflies i hope it will. It can take a year or two before butterflies discover a new host plant, but once they do, they never forget. After about 1 year the plant is going through its first night bloom and i find the fragrance enjoyable, the plant attractive, and so far pest free, but it would be more attractive with some caterpillar eaten leaves. So i wait and hope. The flowers are barely noticeable so if you are looking for some blooms with pizzazz (other than a knock out fragrance at night), this plant is not for you.
