Pearls Of Perfume Mockorange (often called Philadelphus) is a must-have deciduous shrub known for its double white blooms exuding a sweet, citrus-like aroma. The flowers appear on and off from spring through fall, offering a long season of interest that surpasses many conventional flowering shrubs. Standing around four to five feet tall and three to four feet wide, this compact wonder fits seamlessly into a range of garden designs, from brightening flower beds to complementing porch plantings. Its ability to deliver waves of fragrant, snowy blossoms makes it a top contender for those seeking both visual and olfactory pleasure in their landscape.
Pearls Of Perfume Mockorange delights gardeners with a fresh citrus scent that fills the air on warm days, making it a favorite for patio or pathway placements. It tolerates full sun to partial shade and suits various soils if drainage is decent. Deer typically avoid it, and it demands only moderate watering once established. Use it in groups for seasonal screens, as a low hedge for boundary definition, or in a standalone container to enjoy the perfume up close on a sunny deck or porch.
Pearls Of Perfume Mockorange Care
For best results, plant Pearls Of Perfume Mockorange in nutrient-rich, well-drained soil and position it where it receives at least four hours of direct sunlight each day. Keep soil moderately moist during the establishment period, although it can handle short dry spells once mature. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release product in early spring to encourage abundant blooms. Most pH levels are acceptable, but a slightly acidic to neutral soil generally works best. Avoid constantly soggy conditions, which can inhibit healthy root growth, and apply a layer of mulch around the base to help retain moisture and moderate soil temperature.
Prune after the main spring blooming cycle, removing spent flowers or any untidy growth to maintain a compact shape. Light thinning of older wood may encourage fresh growth that will produce more robust flowering. Some gardeners choose to groom lightly throughout the growing season to maintain a tidy form. For container plantings, consider pinching back new shoots to promote branching.
Pearls Of Perfume Mockorange Spacing
For a uniform hedge or mass planting, space Pearls Of Perfume Mockorange about three feet apart so the shrubs can form a continuous line as they mature. If planting individually or in looser groupings, widen that spacing to four or five feet to showcase each shrub’s full form. For container growing, a pot that’s at least 14 to 16 inches in diameter works well, giving the root system ample room while maintaining the shrub’s manageable size.

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.
