Straight-up

growing habit, and sometimes does not branch where it blooms and the branch from whence the inflo stalk emerges, can keep on going like it didn't even bloom. However, it can also bloom again after that branch grows another foot or so----and is more likely to branch the second time around. Nice-size, gorgeous, deep golden and smell strongly like sweet sandalwood--quite a bit. The clusters are quite prominent and tend to hang downwards once in full bloom instead of standing up straight like so many (Musk Rainbow is another that blooms like this). If you wish to control the upward growth by carefully planned pruning and don't mind making room for it, it's a nice plant to have and is always one of the first to bloom. Long bloom period and is quite showy, with the golden flowers up above my lower growing varieties. Very easy to root. Leggy. Blooms are small and sometimes don't open fully. Strong spicy unique fragrance. Recommended for fragrance. The blooms are slow to open fully. LOVE the fragrance. Needs a good size root system to assure a well hydrated inflo or the blooms don't open and not as big. If in a pot when an inflo starts, move it to the shade for nice fragrant blooms of a good size. When dried, good material for incense sticks. Sets seed.
