I have had wonderful experiences with the new Dutch intros, P. divaricatus
'Clouds of Perfume', Blue Perfume', and 'White Perfume'. Very floriferous,
scented and long blooming, and even in this very wet year I haven't seen any
mildew on them at all. Two more new cultivars form are P.d. 'Sweet Lilac',
and Plum Perfect'. They have filled out and put on lush growth, but I
haven't seen the blooms yet, except for pictures.
