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 'Mexican Jewel' has a shrubby, open habit. It bears white blooms with a purple centre, which have an intense fragrance often likened to bubblegum. For best results grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. To keep plants in shape, cut back shoots to a strong buds every year after flowering.
