Most beautiful smell in the entire world!

We have an huge old one in our backyard. Hardly any leaves on it but loads of flowers in spring. Very hot and dry where we are. Pretty much looks dead all summer so

try pruning it back. I cut mine right to the ground, wow, what an amazing result the next years!

Would like a second bush. How can I propagate from old shrub?

[@brandondeckard1553]

Not too sure. I’ve only seen one in person and that was ours. Best bet is to get a small plant online and work from there. It produces a lot of seeds but they seem hard to germinate as well.
