‘Minnesota Snowflake’ is a vigorous, upright, deciduous shrub with ovate, mid- to dark green leaves. Cascading stems of highly fragrant, double, white flowers with pointed petals emerge from late spring and early summer. This mock orange works well within border plantings and could even be considered for a suitably large container.
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 once established.
