Description

A new color joins the Scentara series, this time a vibrant magenta that is sure to win hearts at retail. Large flower trusses rise above foliage tinged with red, emitting that characteristic delightful fragrance. Disease-resistant foliage turns deep purple-black in fall if the weather is cool. Selected not just for its color but also for its ability to flower young in a container.
