Author Message   Tanglewood  Posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - 02:38 am EST :    A friend gave us this a couple of weeks back, it is a large plant and we have now put it in a large pot. We were told, that not only did this one flower in Spring, it flowers again later in the year. There was indeed a flower on it when we got it. If anyone has this one, can they tell me, if, on a well established plant, there are a large amount of flowers produced on 'Propertius' later in the year?

It is a cross with C. koreana var. fragrans H38 as mother. It flowers richly in spring and sparsely later on. The mother plant in our garden is perhaps dead (it may well be in the glass-house though, there are many plants there)but we have vegetatively propagated children outside. It is one of the cultivars propagated for the Swedish market and perhaps elsewhere.

I like it very much and wouldn't want to be without it. The seed heads are attractive as well.

I also have a large koreana v. fragrans plant that produces tons of flowers for a long period, then produces a smaller amount starting now. The koreanas do seem to tend to be easy bloomers. Bengt, does the plant C. koreana var. fragrans H38 still exist?

There are other persons having the plant so I am quite sure that several copies of the original is available in Sweden.

The series of fragrant offspring from H38 x Rosy O'Grady were really outstanding and it would be interesting to see more crosses using H38.
