Illuminati Tower® Mock Orange Care
Illuminati Tower® Mock Orange grows in full or part sun. This shrub prefers a moderate amount of water in the soil but will tolerate dry soil and drought once it is established. It needs an average amount of water and prefers soil that is neutral in pH. In the early spring, fertilize with a slow-release fertilizer for shrubs and trees for bountiful blooms. If the shrub is in a container, fertilize every other month with a water-soluble fertilizer.
The shrub grows upright and is a very narrow plant. It doesn’t really need pruning except to cut out dead wood. However, if you want to trim it, wait until after it blooms in late summer or early fall.

Illuminati Tower® Mock Orange is small, growing to be 36-48 inches tall. It is only 18-24 inches wide. When planting in a hedge or border, you should leave a space of 18-24 inches between this plant and other plants or structures.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
