Mock Orange - Sweet This name is probably derived from the fragrant white flowers resembling orange flowers that some species and cultivars of mock oranges have. The Sweet Mock Orange, Philadephus coronarius, is a deciduous shrub. The summer foliage is dark green and quite free of pest and disease problems. The bloom period is quite short, normally not more than 7 to 10 days. Flowers are single, semi-double, or double and they vary in size. Some mock oranges are without fragrance. It is possible that most mock oranges will suffer from occasional tip kill in zone 4 and quite often in zone 3. |
