Are you sure that's possible??” Several sources describe it as fragrant, very fragrant –in fact, that’s why I originally wanted to grow it. On my plant the stamens have appeared before the style and stigma. Now that they are out, I detect some fragrance. I guess that makes it a pistol packing fragrance. My plant began to lean the other day, so I have it staked (actually tied to some tiger lilies).
