Most Fragrant Philadelphus.
The orange-brown bark peels attractively in winter providing another season
of interest.

Philadelphus Virginal - Mockorange. The hard-to-find true Mockorange strain


"true Mock orange" - an amusing oxymoron?

that blooms all summer. The most fragrant Philadelphus, this drought
tolerant, 8-foot by 6-foot shrub produces masses of 2-inch flowers.
Orange-brown bark peels attractively in winter. Prefers humus-rich, loamy
soil. Zones 5-8. One-gallon container. For Fall Shipping

a mock Mock Orange :
