Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

A very beautiful version of the popular mock orange. From May to July, the cascading branches of Philadelphus 'Minnesota Snowflake' are covered in racemes of fully double, snow-white flowers with pointed petals that show up beautifully against dark green foliage. The flowers are highly scented, their ‘orange blossom’ perfume carrying far on warm evenings.

Philadelphus are extremely rewarding deciduous shrubs, boasting an elegant arching habit, masses of blossom and a heavenly perfume. Surprisingly, they are also very robust. They are great for partially shaded sites and will cope with all soils from heavy clay to chalk, growing rapidly to form superb structural shrubs for mixed borders. The scented flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators making Philadelphus a good choice for wildlife gardens. Height: 2m (6.5ft). Spread: 2.5m (8.2ft).

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.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
