Description

These are mainly late spring or summer-flowering perennials, some of them are semi-evergreen or evergreen. The flowers are produced in terminal panicles which bloom in clusters and are fragrant. They are fully to half hardy. Grow in sun or semi-shade in fertile, moist but well drained soil; some species will prefer acidic soil. In light dry soils it is better grown in partial shade. Propagation is by cuttings from non-flowering shoots in spring or summer or by seed in the autumn or spring.
