How to care for Philadelphus Petite Perfume Pink ('P1') (PBR):
When planting Philadelphus, ensure the roots are firmly covered with well-rotted compost or manure and add a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi onto the root ball. Keeping it well watered during the first growing season will help it settle in easily. Mulch around the roots in spring with a deep layer of well-rotted garden compost or manure. Prune in late summer, immediately after flowering, removing one in four of the older stems to ground level once established.
