Carpenteria Californica

Carpenteria Californica - A lovely hardy shrub for walls in southern districts, 6 to 10 feet high, with long, narrow, pale green leaves, and clusters of large white fragrant flowers. The first account of it in England was from Mr Saul, of Washington, who sent specimens of it to The Garden in 1880. It is nearly related to the Mock Oranges, which it resembles, but is handsomer; thrives in light warm soil, and increased from suckers, cuttings, or seeds. In cold districts will require the protection of a greenhouse.
