A beautiful and rare form, with a deep purple calyx, behind pure white petals. Gorgeously scented dense racemes of flowers in June and the growth is more compact than most forms of delavayi, making this a very desirable plant even putting aside these are plants from Wilsons original collection of 1908.
The scent of purpurascens isw quite swpecific and beautiful and for me this is one of my top five shrubs.
