Philadelphus coronarius (Mockorange)
Color Name: Illumination Tower®
Selected for its narrow, columnar habit and unique four-sided "tower" effect, Illumination Tower Mockorange ensures new uses for this beloved flowering shrub. Early summer brings hundreds of fragrant white flowers along the dramatically upright branches, each nestled within handsome dark green foliage.
Growing Tips: Grows in part shade, but flowering and fragrance are best with a minimum of 6 hours of sun.
Soil: Not finicky about soil, though best growth and flowering is in well-drained soils with even moisture.
Pruning: Blooms on old wood; prune after flowering if desired or required. Benefits from periodic rejuvenation pruning.
Uses: Perennial beds; mixed borders; foundation plantings.
