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 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. The summer foliage is dark green and quite free of pest and disease problems. There is no color change in the fall. It is possible that most mock oranges will suffer from occasional tip kill in zone 4 and quite often in zone 3.
