Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the evergreen "mock oranges," so named for its transcendental fragrance, evocative of orange blossoms, from small, white spring flowers. A smallish shrub, to 4-6' tall x 4' wide with variegated foliage, the light green leaves edged in creamy white. Full sun for best bud set, but tolerates dappled shade. Best in a fairly warm, sunny spot against the shelter of a wall or building. Frost hardy in mid USDA zone 8.
