Renowned for its exquisite fragrance, this deciduous shrub produces an abundance of large, star shaped white flowers with delicate purple blotches at their centres during early summer. The blooms emit an intoxicating sweet scent that carries beautifully through the garden, making it perfect for planting near seating areas or pathways where its perfume can be appreciated. Unlike many mock oranges, the foliage remains fresh and attractive throughout the season, forming a rounded, bushy habit that works well in mixed borders or as an informal hedge. Tough yet elegant, it thrives in most well drained soils and tolerates partial shade, though flowering is most prolific in sunny positions. A superb choice for gardeners seeking both visual charm and aromatic delight.
