Landscape & Garden Uses Growing to only 4 feet tall and wide, the Illuminati Mock Orange is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a colorful and fragrant hedge. It is a fine addition to a sunny flowering shrub border, fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, cut flower gardens, and the cottage garden. Suggested Spacing: 3.5 feet apart for hedges, 7 feet or more apart for space between plants Growing Preferences Mock Orange is exceptionally easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil and lots of sun. Some shade is tolerated however it will flower more profusely in full sun. Is drought tolerant once established, however will appreciate a good weekly soaking during an extended drought in the hottest part of the summer. If you see the leaves starting to wilt just give the plant a good drink. Can be pruned after flowering for shaping. Avoid pruning in fall or winter as Mock Orange blooms on old wood (the previous year's growth). Rejuvenation pruning is the favored method as it will encourage heavier budding and blooming. Every few years after flowering simply cut out about one-third of the stems starting with the largest first. Plant Long & Prosper! Meet The Wilson Brothers & Staff Questions? Contact Us!

Lucy Zygmunt----------------------------------------Wow! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! :) Beth Steele | WBGI was a little hesitant when I received the bush as it was dormant. Unfortunately, our ground is still frozen as it is March, so I placed the bush in a spare room I have that we keep heated to about 55 degrees. It's been inside for about 3 weeks and I can now see leaf buds starting on several of the branches. I can't wait to get this bush planted and see and smell the blossoms as it grows over the coming years.---------------------------------Yhats a very cool plant! Thanks so much for your review.
