Mock orange is a reliable and absolutely maintenance-free shrub of old European gardens. It is popular for its snow white, scented flowers.
Description of the plant:
Frosty Morn is a compact mock orange with fragrant, snow-white, double flowers in June. It grows rather slowly and makes a shrub that is about 1.5m tall and wide. Deciduous leaves are narrowly ovate, 4-5 cm long, mid green. Pruning is not necessary but can be done immediately after flowering. This way you will sooner achieve a denser, profusely flowering shrub.Mock orange will grow in almost any soil, extra fertilizing is not welcome. It can take urban conditions and pollution, as well as restricted room for roots. Fully hardy to min. -30°C (USDA zone 5).
