    We have a small hill in the back yard and I wanted something hardy, fast growing, to block the view of the road. I also will always choose a fragrant plant for any given purpose if I can fit one to the task. That is when I stumbled across this shrub. It is a large, wild, rangy thing, needs room and should not be planted near anything its long branching runners can climb. The fragrance, in late fall, when nothing else is around, can literally be smelled for multiple lots around us. Multiple shrubs can grow into an impenetrable mass and birds and bees love them.
