Oh ye of so little faith.......I waited 10 long years before I released this plant. Not just a matter of weeks after some types bloom the first time. It takes heat, cold, wind and rain equally well and blooms more flowers at a time on older plants than any other I have grown. See pic. .this is the original tree after 10 years it was still only 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide. at the time this pic was taken it had over 350 flowers open at a time.It tends to keep the original form without all the sprouts at the base of most types. the cross was B. Insignis Orange (aurea) x B. X.
Betty Marshall (suaveolens hybrid) The aurea was responsible for the smaller sized flower and heavy fragrance. The suaveolens contributed the smaller broader stature, and the heavy blooming qualities.It's slow to root as cuttings, is a great seed pod former, and holds well in many conditions.
