Admire low maintenance, beautiful blooms throughout the summer season with Philadelphus ‘Petite Perfume White’ Mock Orange. A compact variety with a clump forming habit, it is a wonderful addition to pots and containers as well as in mixed displays in flowerbeds and borders.
With an incredible orange-blossom fragrance, the crisp white open flowers will attract a range of bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects into your garden, while filling the garden with its sensational summer scent. It has dark green foliage that accentuates the flowers but also acts as a foil for other surrounding plants.
The perfect choice for more challenging spaces around the garden, it will flourish even on dry banks, areas with air pollution and windy areas. With a wonderful shape and flowers, it also works well as a low maintenance, low-level hedging.
A resilient and hardy shrub, to get the best from Philadelphus ‘Petite Perfume White’ Mock Orange, plant it in a position with full sun or partial shade in any moist but free draining soil. Once it has finished flowering, cut back the shoots down to a strong bud, being careful not to prune too hard, as it will flower on the previous season’s growth.
