Philadelphus 'Virginalis'
Philadelphus 'Virginalis', also known as Mock Orange ‘Virginalis’, is a classic deciduous shrub highly valued for its abundant bloom and intoxicating fragrance. This variety forms a vigorous, dense, and rounded bush, perfect for flowering hedges, shrub borders, or as a specimen plant in the garden. In early summer, the shrub is covered with a multitude of large, pure white double flowers resembling jasmine, releasing a very intense sweet fragrance particularly noticeable in the evening. This scent attracts numerous pollinators and adds a remarkable sensory dimension to the garden. Its slightly textured, medium green foliage creates an elegant backdrop for the bright blooms. Very hardy and easy to grow, this mock orange tolerates ordinary soils and cold climates, while preferring sunny to semi-shady locations.
