Philadelphus is one of the stars of the early summer garden, indeed there is one to suit every garden, large or small. Blooms in all sorts are white and deliciously scented of orange blossom.
The most popular sort is the double white flowered “Virginal” which can grow to 15 ft in time. A more compact double flowered type is “Manteau d ‘Hermine” which rarely grows taller than 4 ft.
A beautiful six footer is “Belle Etoile” which has single white blooms with a purple centre.
The baby of the bunch is Philadelphus microphyllus , which is covered with single pure white flowers and grows to 2 ft tall.
