These blooms have an amazing fragrance! Illuminati Arch® Mock orange is the new and improved version of a classic favorite. Intoxicatingly sweet perfume wafts from its lovely white flowers all throughout Spring. Expect more of a tidy suave appearance, compared to the original, Philadelphus coronarius. Its arching branches of dark green leaves are handsome even when the blooms are gone. This shrub makes the perfect striking specimen reaching 4 feet in size.
This tough little deciduous shrub is hardy to zones 4 to 7b. Expect Mock Orange to be a delight for all of the senses. Let the aroma fill the air and enjoy the breathtaking fountain of white draping blooms. It even works great in a container since it has that thriller element. You won’t mind that this beauty is the star romance in your garden. It’s ok, we can keep a secret.
Illuminati Arch® Mock Orange Care
With just a little bit of maintenance, Mock Orange will be a delightful novelty of Spring. Even though it can take partial sun, full sunlight conditions promote more flower growth. It has average water and soil needs. It prefers more moist soil, so mulching around the base will help to retain moisture in the soil. Once it is established, it is somewhat drought tolerant, but additional irrigation may be needed for those hot summer days. Add an all-purpose fertilizer or compost annually to keep blooms at their best.
Annual pruning is recommended, but honestly, not much in the way of pruning is needed. Wait till after flowering has occurred to prune since blooms develop on old wood. Flowering typically occurs in late Spring or early Summer. Cut out any dead or broken branches and only cut up to â…“ of the total growth on the entire plant at one time.
Illuminati Arch® Mock Orange Spacing
Space plants 4 feet apart from each other. Since it has a vase-shaped habit, it will need that space in between to be able to drape down. Use Mock orange as an addition to a shrub border or stagger plants to create a loose informal hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
