Philadelphus (10 plants)

$90.00 Sold Out
Variety: Snowwhite Fantasy

 Philadelphus or Mock Orange is one of the loveliest old fashioned shrubs that many of us have never grown. One of my absolute favorites.

They bloom following lilac and snowball viburnum season, increasing the harvest season of flowering branches.

Philadelphus will flower best on the previous year's growth. Prune after flowering to stimulate strong new growth. Snowwhite Fantasy has the unique ability to flower on new growth as well as old growth, so you will likely see some flowers later in the season after the main harvest. In my experience these stems are bit shorter but are still usable for bouquet work. Also if you have a late freeze or a brutal winter that kills the flower buds you have a second chance at harvest as the new growth will flower. 

The fragrance is divine, smelling not unlike citrus flowers, hence the common name. Harvest when first buds are just starting to open. Philadelphus is adaptable to a range of conditions, preferring a generally moist and fertile soil in full sun. 

These will be shipped as large plugs (aka liners) removed from their trays and bagged for shipping.
