    Anyone knows what it is?
    I got it thinking it was for the rockery or something low anyway, but it grew to about 1 M (3 feet)at least.
    Blooms are quite fragrant.
    Stayed light purple for a long time till they fully opened and are closer to white.

    Any chance you could enlarge your photographs Calin? It would make IDing you plant so much easier for our members.

    u so funny eileen!
    i was like "what? pics don;t work?"
    LOL

    well... if someone knows what it is fine. i'd like to know. but i kinda figured it out already. not the name. just that it does so well where it is. maybe a little too well.
    when i got it, it was very small and really thought this won't top 10 inches.
    but it DID. and all of a sudden. it was very small when i saw the flower buds on top - and then the stems just grew taller and taller.
    maybe i will have to move it somewhere else, towards the back of the flower bed.
