Philadelphus Snowwhite Fantasy

Repeat flowering and so fragrant.

Once you experience the stimulating fragrance of philadelphus, your spring days will forever be filled with the sweetest memories. An old-fashioned favorite, philadelphus is a deciduous shrub with a graceful, fountain-like habit and snow-white blooms of the most delightful fragrance. Leave it to Plants Nouveau to offer a mock orange that gives an encore performance!

Snow White is a versatile shrub with a wide growing range; the pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers are but one great attribute of this underutilized spring-flowering beauty. Perfect not only in the garden but also as exceptional cut flowers, its blooms bring that same intoxicating fragrance indoors, extending the experience beyond the landscape. Attractive foliage on gracefully arching branches guarantees Snow White easy placement among other flowering shrubs. What charming impact: a wonderful new addition to the landscape border, offering two seasons of flower and dark-green foliage that stands up to summer heat!
