Mockorange

(Philadelphus x virginalis)

Mockorange is a fire-resistant shrub that puts on a show of stunning, sweetly scented, white flowers in late spring. Once the blooms fade, the plant recedes into the background and should be used with other plants that can steal the show. It is adaptable, easy to grow, and useful for hedges and screening.

  • Grows from 0.9 m – 2.1 m depending on the cultivar
  • Does best in full sun to partial shade
  • Requires relatively low maintenance
