Mock Orange - Sweet
The bloom period is quite short, normally not more than 7 to 10 days. There is no color change in the fall. Some mock oranges are without fragrance. Flowers are single, semi-double, or double and they vary in size. The Sweet Mock Orange, Philadephus coronarius, is a deciduous shrub. It is possible that most mock oranges will suffer from occasional tip kill in zone 4 and quite often in zone 3. This name is probably derived from the fragrant white flowers resembling orange flowers that some species and cultivars of mock oranges have. The summer foliage is dark green and quite free of pest and disease problems. ... additional info
Lilac - Korean N. Syringa translates from the Greek as "pipe", in reference to the hollow stems. This deciduous shrub is especially urban tolerant. It is the most common cultivar of the species, valued for its even more compact habit (to 4-6”). The Dwarf Korean Lilac, Syringa meyeri 'palibin', is known as a compact but spreading, small-foliaged Lilac with showy late May lavender-purple flowers that are spread over the entire shrub canopy. Meyeri is named after F. Meyer, who introduced this species to the United States from Northern China in the early 20th century. It is widely used as a foundation, group planting, informal or formal hedge, or specimen shrub. |
