A delightful deciduous shrub, Philadelphus ‘Lemoinei’, commonly known as mock orange, is renowned for its abundance of fragrant white flowers that bloom in early to mid-summer, from May to July. The blooms, with their creamy white petals, are cup-shaped and exude a lovely citrus-like fragrance, making them a standout in any garden. Growing to a height and spread of about 1.5 metres, ‘Lemoinei’ has a neat, bushy form with dark green, lance-shaped leaves, providing an attractive backdrop to its fragrant flowers. This cultivar is particularly valued for its dense, compact growth habit, making it ideal for hedges, borders, and small gardens. A relatively low maintenance beauty - only requiring occasional pruning after flowering to maintain shape and size - ‘Lemoinei’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. This hardy shrub is excellent for pollinator gardens, attracting bees, butterflies and other pollinators. With its beautiful blooms and pleasing fragrance, Philadelphus ‘Lemoinei’ is also a favourite with florists, adding elegance and aroma to both indoor and outdoor spaces.
