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 'White Rock' is an upright shrub, bearing cascading stems of fragrant semi-double blooms, which make it particularly well suited to growing in a large container. 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.
