In June and July, the arching shoots of this deciduous shrub are smothered in double, creamy-white flowers and mid-green leaves. On warm, summer evenings, the flowers' delicate, orange-blossom fragrance floats on the breeze, filling the surrounding air.
This compact, bushy variety of the popular mock orange is perfect for a small garden or where border space is limited. An essential, low-maintenance shrub for a sunny mixed border, 'Manteau d'Hermine' can also cope with urban pollution and salt-laden air.

When planting Philadelphus, ensure the roots are firmly covered with well-rotted compost or manure and add a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi onto the roots and into the planting hole. Keeping it well watered during the first growing season will help it settle in easily.
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.
