Gas Plant
Dictamnus albus 'Albiflorus'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Rutaceae
Plant Description: This low maintenance perennial has a short spring blooming period. Fragrant, showy, upright blooms work well as cut flowers. Green pinnate leaves are glossy and emit a lemony scent when rubbed or crushed. Foliage can cause skin irritation. In hot weather, old flowers and foliage produce a flammable oil.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
