Philadelphus coronarius - Mock Orange - Plant in 2 L Pot

Philadelphus are native to north and central America, Asia and South East Europe and contain some 80 species, of which many are an invaluable addition to our gardens. Philadelphus in cultivation can be traced as far back as the Roman Empire where, as now, they were renowned for their spectacular floral displays and heady fragrance. Philadelphus coronarius is one of the best and has been granted the RHS Award of Garden Merit. A superb deciduous medium size shrub. Profuse creamy white, single flowers are produced in June and July and like most of the Philadelphus, they also come with a super strong heady fragrance, in fact one of the strongest of all common Philadelphus! Easy to grow in full sun or light shade in most fertile, moist, free draining soils. Can be used in a mixed planting or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or can easily be grown in a pot or container. If it becomes to large it can be cut back in spring. When growing in a pot or other container. Use a good quality compost. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend the use of Osmocote Pro 8-9 month. One application applied in early spring will provide sufficient nutrients for the whole year.
