Philadelphus coronarius – Mock orange

Philadelphus coronarius, commonly known as mock orange, is a classic flowering shrub, highly valued for its intensely fragrant, creamy white flowers. In late spring to early summer, the shrub is covered in blossoms that release a sweet scent and attract bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

This deciduous shrub forms a vigorous, loosely upright habit with arching branches and fresh green foliage. It is ideal as a solitary shrub, in a flowering hedge, or as part of a natural mixed border. Hardy and reliable, Philadelphus coronarius requires very little maintenance.

Mock orange thrives best in a sunny to semi-shaded position in fertile, well-drained soil. Pruning is optional but can be done immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth by removing older branches.

Key features of Philadelphus coronarius:

• Strongly scented spring flowers

• Attractive to bees and beneficial insects

• Fully hardy and easy to maintain

• Perfect for natural and cottage-style gardens

With its nostalgic charm and delightful fragrance, Philadelphus coronarius is a timeless addition to any biodiverse garden.
