Thompson & Morgan Mock Orange Philadelphus Virginal 3.6 Litre Potted Plant x 1, White

This hardy deciduous shrub deserves a prominent spot in garden borders. The fully double blooms of Philadelphus 'Virginal' unfurl their pure white petals in early summer to release the most exquisite 'orange blossom' perfume. Like all Mock Orange shrubs, this stunning variety attracts bees and other insects to its nectar rich flowers. With a vigorous, upright habit, Philadelphus makes a useful large shrub for wildlife and woodland gardens, and even copes well in coastal conditions. Grow in a sunny or semi shaded position, in any well-drained soil. Prior to planting, incorporate plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost into the soil. Plant at the same depth as planted in the nursery pot. Backfill the planting hole and water well to settle the soil. Water regularly throughout the growing season until fully established. In spring, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the plant. Requires little pruning; after flowering cut back stems to a healthy bud and remove a fifth of the old stems to ground level. Position: Sun or Partial Shade, Height: Up to 3m. Spread: Up to 2.5m.
