TWO #1 Gallon Potted Sweet Mock Orange Nursery Pots (technically .66 gallon)
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to light shade. Prefers moist, organically rich soils. Tolerates a wide range of soils except poorly-drained ones. Flowers appear on the prior year’s growth, so prune as needed immediately after flowering.
Philadelphus coronarius, commonly called mock orange or sweet mock orange, is a dense, rounded, multi-stemmed, suckering, deciduous shrub with stiff, straight, ascending but arching branches. It typically matures to 10-12’ tall and as wide. It is native to southeastern Europe and Asia Minor. It is grown in landscapes primarily for its 4-petaled, very fragrant, white flowers (each to 1 1/2” across) which bloom abundantly in May to early June in small clusters (5 to 7- flowered racemes). Each flower purportedly resembles the shape of an orange blossom, hence the common name of mockorange. Flowers give way to seed capsules. Dark brown bark exfoliates with age.

Info
The special on our smaller potted plants does not apply to the gallon containers. If you'd like only one, we can make a custom order for you, but it is much more cost efficient with the shipping to sell them in pairs.
For larger quantities, leave us a message with your address and we can probably get you a discount. If you'd like to mix and match, just send us a quick message and let us know which varieties you'd like and we'll make a custom order you can purchase easily, which is just a private listing for you. Thanks!
