Joseph's Take
I love both Venus and Aphrodite Sweetshrub. They grow fast, have large leaves, and the flowers smell amazing. I like to use them for privacy where an evergreen is not preferred. I like to plant them in groupings away from the house so I can enjoy looking at the show of flowers from afar.
