Product Description
Philadelphus 'Snowbelle' / Mock orange 'Snowbelle' in 1.5-2L Pot, Stunnig White Flowers
'Snowbelle' is a small deciduous shrub with rich green foliage, and then in early summer lashings of citrus-scented white flowers appear. The Citrus-scented, double white flowers are produced in clusters. Flowers appear on prior year’s growth, so prune as needed immediately after flowering.
They are named "mock-orange" in reference to their flowers, which in wild species look somewhat similar to those of oranges and lemons (Citrus) at first glance, and smell of orange flowers and jasmine (Jasminum). Most are deciduous but a few species from the south of the genus' range are evergreen. The leaves are opposite, simple, with serrated margins, from 1 to 14 cm long. The flowers are white, with four petals and sepals, 1–4 cm diameter, and commonly (but not in all species) sweetly scented. The fruit is a small capsule, containing numerous small seeds.
