Mock orange, Philadelphus, is a popular, handsome shrub, grown for its masses of white blooms that fill the air with fragrance in late-spring and summer. These contrast beautifully with dark green foliage.

Philadelphus ‘Manteau d'Hermine’ is an upright, compact shrub bred by French plantsman Victor Lemoine. It bears fragrant double blooms, which make it particularly well suited to growing in a large container or in the ground near a path or seating area. For best results grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. To keep plants in shape, cut back flowered shoots to a strong buds every year after flowering.
