Boasting dark green foliage and an abundance of pure white, highly fragrant flowers, 'Petite Perfume White’ is a compact deciduous shrub that commands attention in any garden. Unlike many other philadelphus, its flowers gleam with a clarity unmatched, adorning its compact, mound-forming habit with bright white blooms that captivate the senses. With hundreds of flowers gracing its branches for up to six weeks, this shrub becomes a beacon for bees and butterflies, drawing them from far and wide. Its resilience to air pollution and drought once established makes it a versatile choice for urban and coastal landscapes, while its charming presence enhances woodland gardens, borders, containers, and scented gardens alike.
Mulch around the roots in spring with a deep layer of well-rotted garden compost or manure. Prune in late summer, immediately after flowering, removing one in four of the older stems to ground level once established.
