Inhale fragrant clouds of blossom all summer with this fabulous new Mock Orange! The first of its kind, Philadelphus ‘Pearls of Perfume’ represents a dramatic breeding breakthrough. Plants don’t just produce a single burst of flowers but continue to rebloom throughout summer. It’s the first Philadelphus that flowers on both old and current growth, resulting in a much longer flowering season. This compact Philadelphus forms a densely branching shrub, the branches carrying flowers all along their length. Masses of large, fully double, white blooms are produced from late spring and throughout summer. The flowers are strongly fragrant and deserve a spot where you can enjoy their intoxicating fragrance. Height: 120cm (47in). Spread: 60cm (24in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Philadelphus plants in a sunny or semi shaded position, in any well drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant Mock Orange plants at the same depth as they were planted in their pots. Backfill the planting hole and water well to settle the soil.
Water regularly throughout the growing season until young plants are fully established. In spring, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant. Philadelphus requires little pruning. After flowering cut back stems to a healthy bud and remove a fifth of the old stems to ground level.
