This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.

Always wanted this variety of philadelphus. My garden is new and quite exposed. Also last winter was very challenging but this plant came through to blossom beautifully in the spring. Didn't expect blossoms in the first year.

Planted in a mixed perennial border, it will need space to grow, but for the moment it looks lovely surrounded by smaller perennials. Flowered well and put on good growth from spring, when planted through the summer

The fragrance reminds me of the past with it's bubble gum smell. We have it close to the path to our front door. When it's in flower it always causes comments. Living in the Pennies it needs to be tough, it's thriving. It's not a complaint but it is an observation, as a bush it is a little untidy in it's growth habits. However, a little judicious pruning maintains some semblance of order. It makes a lovely gift to someone who is just starting gardening too.

This is a beautiful shrub. It needs space to show its very graceful and elegant habit. It has masses of pretty slightly scented flowers. Don't expect much show in first year but growth develops and there is no holding it in the second year. Pruning needs to be thoughtful and expert,to maintain the very attractive open but almost fragile habit.

Hasn't really given me a good show yet but still hopefull especially as I have a different variety in my garden that is doing very well. It might be happier in a different place.

Hello, This should do quite well in a large pot (say at least 50 x 60cm) filled with John Innes No2 compost. There is no need to pot it up gradually, although it will look a little small in the large pot initially, so you could under-plant it with some seasonal bedding. As with all plants growing in pots, it will be important to make sure it is kept well fed and watered.

Certain shrubs flower with the roses and Philadelphus 'Belle Etoile' has a citrus scent. The white flowers have a subtle maroon splash that picks up the colour of pink and purple-pink roses and this compact shrub will only reach man-height. The hint of

Mock oranges vary greatly from huge leggy monsters, to compact twiggy bushes so it’s essential to choose the correct one. The smallest and slowest growing is ‘Manteau d’Hermine’ a double-white form, which rarely gets above one metre in height. This is
