Philadelphus Snowbelle
Philadelphus Snowbelle is a more recent Canadian cultivar of the classic Mock Orange Blossom, so beloved of British gardeners. A compact, deciduous shrub of neat, textured leaves, it produces a snowstorm of flowers in early summer. These double flowers are pristine and emit a glorious, citrus fragrance.

While exotic looking, P. Snowbelle is fully hardy. For the best result, plant in a border or a large container near a seating area or the house itself, so that the remarkable scent is appreciated by humans as well as the bees and butterflies that it attracts to the garden.

Blooms on previous year’s wood so cut back immediately after flowering.
Sweet, reminiscent of orange blossom.
