Description
Philadelphus 'Virginal', commonly known as Mock Orange, is a timeless deciduous flowering shrub celebrated for its abundant double white blooms and powerful citrus fragrance. This traditional favourite brings both beauty and scent to the garden in early summer.
In late spring to early summer, 'Virginal' produces masses of fully double white flowers, creating a luxurious, frothy display against its fresh green foliage. The blooms release a strong, sweet orange-blossom fragrance, making it one of the most محبوب and widely planted mock orange varieties.
With its upright to arching growth habit, this vigorous shrub is perfect for borders, cottage gardens, informal hedging, and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. It is especially effective when planted near paths, patios, and seating areas, where its fragrance can be fully appreciated.
Hardy and easy to grow, Philadelphus 'Virginal' thrives in sunny or partially shaded positions and adapts well to most well-drained soils, making it a reliable and low-maintenance addition to any garden.
Supplied at 30–40cm in height in a 3L pot, this well-established plant is ready to provide stunning blooms and beautiful fragrance.
