Venus isn’t just a shrub, it’s an experience! Intoxicating 3-4″, magnolia-like white blooms painted with yellow and lavender infusions in the center adorn ‘Venus’ from late May through late July. The flowers are so different from the species and the fragrance is guaranteed to be like nothing you’ve ever experienced before…envision an exotic fusion of sweet strawberries and ripe melons with singularly spicy undertones…its like a little garden of paradise in your own backyard! Glossy green foliage provides the perfect backdrop for these stunning blossoms and provides some color of its own in the fall with a deep golden hue as the weather cools. Venus will thrive in full sun to partial shade and loves a moist, well drained soil. Youll love it as a stand alone specimen or grouped to make a sizable but intoxicating border planting.
