This was sold to me as a "sweet almond bush" at a farmers market 3 years back in a one gallon pot. It has grown substantially to the point I will move it farther from the house this winter. It is at least 5 feet tall and 3 feet wide. It's multiple blooms are 2" by 2"
I can't find it in plant files so I will assume it is mis-named. I'd like to know more about it so I know when to trim. It has no fragrance, started blooming this last part of April here for the first time. The branches tend to arch out and weep on spindly stems loaded with creamy yellow blooms with a darker yellow center. It is still blooming strong this May 5
Help me ID this bush
Looks like it might be pearl bush or some kind of deutzia
Kyle :-)
Not pearlbush try looking under deutzia gracilis
kinda reminds me of Philadelphus.
'Cause it is a Philadelphus spp., though sad that it isn't fragrant.
It clearly has oppositely arranged foliage, which disqualifies Exochorda spp.
Deutzia spp. carry their flowers in racemes or panicles; these are singly borne.
'Natchez' is a very commonly available selection of Mockorange that has little to no fragrance. Great in flower (as is your image) though, for a couple of weeks.
Mockorange
probably lots of different kinds of those.
