Aloysia virgata, commonly known as sweet almond bush, is a large flowering shrub or small tree prized for its intensely fragrant white flower clusters that produce a sweet almond scent. Blooming repeatedly through the warm season, it attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators while adding height, fragrance, and seasonal interest to the landscape. Its fast growth and graceful form make it an excellent choice for hedges, screens, and specimen plantings.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune after flowering or as needed to maintain size and shape
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth and flowering
