1 Live Plant Sweet Mock Orange Philadelphus coronarius 12 Inch Bare Root Starter

Sweet Mock Orange is a classic deciduous shrub prized for its profusion of creamy white, citrus-scented blooms in late spring to early summer. This Philadelphus coronarius starter arrives as a bare root plant measuring 12 to 24 inches, ready to establish quickly and grow into a graceful, arching shrub that adds timeless cottage-garden charm to borders, hedges, and mixed plantings.
Grown for its ornamental beauty and intensely fragrant flowers, Sweet Mock Orange makes an excellent specimen shrub or informal hedge once established. Blooms typically appear on older wood, so a light pruning right after flowering helps maintain shape and encourage next season's display. The lush green foliage provides a pleasant backdrop through summer. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub adapts well to a range of garden settings and rewards patience with years of reliable bloom.
