Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the most frost hardy of the Chinese mock oranges, this form, introduced only a few years ago from Japan, grows to 6 ft or so with 2” leaves margined and streaked most attractively in white and cream. Creamy flowers are scented of orange blossoms in mid spring to early summer. Can be shorn as a hedge or used as specimen plants in decently drained soil. Prefers sun to half shade and supplemental summer water where very dry. Easy. Frost hardy to 5 ℉, mid USDA zone 7.
