    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A double-flowering form of Mockorange that generally reaches 9' tall. A multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with an upright, arching habit features fragrant, double white flowers to 2" that appear in loose clusters in late spring, usually in 5-7 flowered terminal racemes. It epitomizes the reason for the common name Mockorange as it smells sweetly of orange blossoms. Mockoranges can get a ragged stature BUT they can be cut back to the ground after flowering and start afresh. Can be used as a hedge.
