Description
Mock oranges are white-flowering shrubs that are used in border plantings or in screen plantings. The main interest for the mock orange are their profusion of white, slightly fragrant flowers in late spring that last into early summer. This makes them great screen bushes for around a deck, patio, or walkway some where the delicate nature of the blooms can be enjoyed. These blooms attract butterflies and other pollinator. These native shrubs are adaptable to many conditions but for high bloom performance plant in full sun when possible.
