• This cultivar is particularly symmetrical and is reported to have some resistance to Japanese beetle.
• American Sentry is also a great option for the typical residential homeowner who would like to support our pollinators. The large leaves are easy to rake up, the flowers are fragrant and noticeable in the early summer’s day, and the fruits aren’t particularly messy or necessary to clean up as they blend right in with the landscape.
