2. Which one generally grows more compact or vertical? I have a lot of vertical space but not horizontal.
3. Are they both dedocious (drop their leaves in the winter?) Generally, which is a more reliable bloomer? Thank you so much for the help!

1. Both are powerfully fragrant, parishii smells like berries, kingianum more floral
2. Kingianum has a neat and compact growth habit. My parishii's growth habit is messy.
3. Parishii is deciduous and Kingianum is not.
Kingianum requires a cold winter under 50 degrees to bloom, parishii does not.
