    One of the most common longiflorum selections on the market (at least here in Europe). It's very easy to grow and multiplies well in favourable conditions. It tolerates direct sunlight and high temperatures without any problems. Just make sure the soil is moist. The scent is fabolous! You can feel it metres away.
