#ProPlantTips for Care:
Plant in full sun or partial shade with at least four hours of sunlight a day. Look for a planting site with rich, well-drained soil to achieve the best results. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Although widely adapted to many different soil types, Mock Orange requires well-drained soil. Mock Orange shrubs thrive just about anywhere, including slightly acidic, slightly alkaline, sandy soil, or heavy clay.
Add a nice, 3-4 inches of mulch helps your plant maintain surface moisture and keep roots cool. However, mulch should never touch the main stems of your plant. Once the flowering is done, you can prune them back, to keep a nice, clean look. You can do this hard pruning every year, or less often. Don't be surprised to see reblooming in mid to late summer. Mock Orange responds very well to renewal pruning, or being cut to the ground in late winter to rejuvenate the plant.
- Thrives In Full Sun & Part Shade
- Well-Drained Enriched Soil
- Appreciates Regular Water & Mulched Beds
- Prune Right After Flowering
- Highly Adaptable, Cold Hardy, Disease & Pest Resistant
