Flowering shrubs
Coronary mock‑orange
Philadelphus coronarius
Family Saxifragaceae. Occurs in Southwestern Europe.
Coronary mock‑orange - a shrub up to 3 m high, with large creamy‑white, very fragrant flowers.
Possessing a strong tendency to produce shoots, coronary mock‑orange quickly becomes dense, and therefore requires periodic thinning of the bushes, removal of old fruit‑bearing trunks and branches aged 5–6 years.
The flowers are simple, 2.5–3.5 cm in diameter, creamy‑white, very fragrant, arranged in racemose inflorescences.
Coronary mock‑orange blooms abundantly. Flowering lasts 20 days.
