The Sweet Smell of Nature!
It starts about the middle of May and ends sometime in late June (and sometimes even a random bloom in early July). Working in my back yard or even sitting on my deck under the gazebo, the sweet smell of the this native beauty fills the air. It is so intoxicating I cannot help but to be happy working in my back yard.
Fast growing and low maintenance makes this a perfect addition to your yard. The bloom times can change in the north but you will have about a month of non stop fragrance filling the air!

Going on 4 years since I bought it for less than $10 at Lowe's on the markdown rack. It was spindly and pathetic looking and only about 4' tall and now it has tripled in size
Fully opened bloom. This beauty smells absolutely heavenly!
Still have buds and will keep on having sporadic blooms for the rest of the June
In zone 7 this is a semi evergreen -meaning that it will keep most of its leaves in a mild winter. Up north it will lose its leaves and not get as large
