They bloom from late summer til fall. They are still blooming. We have not had any frost so far. The weather here has continued to be very mild. 80s F daytime high and 60s F nighttime low. This plant has never bloomed for me this long before. The fragrance is heavenly. March 1993 was the first time that I planted this plant. I have it planted in the background behind my mail box.
