QA, yes the flowers emit a very mild, elegance fragrant. But these can be very vigorous and shade out other plantings in the vicinity. So I tend to cut down a whole stalk down to the ground when the blooms are spent. When the plant is injured (cutting) it however, emits a rather stronge pungent odor. Thus far, I don't see any pest problem on them. The large heart-shape leaves are attractive by themselves.
