More information

Value-for-money
This mock orange has unique colours; its young shoots and the base of its flowers are tinged with purplish bronze. An originality that does not detract from the delicious fragrance of its single white flowers. A very hardy, undemanding deciduous shrub, it adapts to any well-drained soil, even chalky and fairly dry in summer. You can enjoy its charming flowering in late spring.

Planting and care

Planting of Philadelphus ‘Starbright’ takes place from September to November or from February to April, when there is no frost, in full sun or light partial shade. An ordinary, deep, well-drained soil is enough for it, even clayey or chalky, but growth and flowering are better when the soil remains moist in spring. In a Mediterranean climate, September and October, after the rains return, are the best planting times. Partial shade is also more favourable. Regular watering is necessary during the first two summers; once established, the shrub tolerates summer drought quite well. A mulch helps retain soil moisture. In an informal hedge, spacing of 1.50 to 2 m gives each plant room to develop.
