Description of the plant:
Mock orange is a reliable and absolutely maintenance-free shrub of old European gardens. It is popular for its snow white flowers, in case of this hybrid they are medium-sized or large with slight purple shade in the centre. They come out in early or mid summer and release heavy fragrance that can hardly be mistaken for anything else. It flowers profusely every year. Deciduous leaves are deep green, ovate. As it is a vigorously growing shrub you can keep it compact by trimming it after flowering. Fully hardy to min. -30°C.
