This distinctive form of R.viscosum is undoubtedly the best for garden use. The growth habit is low and compact, very different from the normal tall lanky growth of the species. Native to higher elevations in the Blue Ridge Mountians of NC, it has the same late, fragrant white flowers, usually around early to mid-July.
Valuable for its late, fragrant bloom, usually around early to mid-July. Flowers are white, sometimes with variable amounts of pink, and are highly fragrant. The habit tends to be taller than wide. R.viscosum is native to our New Jersey Pine Barrens woods, usually growing along the edges of ponds, swamps, streams and other wet areas. It often blooms in heavy shade, but does much better when given some sun.
