The hardiest and most reliable form of bholua, with exquisitely delicious, scented round clusters of pink and white flowers in Jan/Feb. Makes a very handsome upright shrub, with semi- evergreen foliage, which should be planted in its final position near a path or the house, where the scent can brighten any day. Originated as a seedling of the form "Ghurka' (much less hardy) raised by Alan Postill (pronounced "postle' and named after his wife), at Hillers Nurseries in 1982. A must have shrub, we often have other forms available for the collector. *I have obtained a few plants of what is currently a scarce plant hence the slightly higher price. Please enquire.
