GROWING GUIDE

 

Mature size:
Height: 6 — 8 feet (1.8 — 2.4 m).
Space: 9 — 12 inches (22 — 30 cm) apart.
Flowering attributes:
'April in Paris' is one of my favorites. The white with a blush of lavender is very elegant. For a cut flower it can't be beat, with its long stems and very intense fragrance. Bred in New Zealand by Dr. Keith Hammett, who has introduced many beautiful bicolor cultivars, including L. 'Cheri Amour', this has been a popular introduction.
