I purchased it as a potted plant in October, 2009, about 10" high from Parkseed. The plant arrived with the pot completely dried out with...Read More most of the leaves in the bottom of the box. The few remaining leaves dropped off in the first week. I immediately moved it to a 10" pot, had to soak it for hours to re-wet the soil it came in and put it in a near full sun location during the winter rains. The plant looked dead through most of March but there was green right under the surface. Some signs of life then started to appear and the plant quickly took off and it started to form buds by late April. Now in mid-May it's in full bloom and looks like it never experienced a set-back. The flowers are very large for a mock orange and quite fragrant. A real trooper that will be a featured shrub in the garden from now on. I can highly recommend it! I'm in zone 9, but it appears to be hardy to zone 4.

Very attractive mock orange variety, with a short growing habit. Full of white, very strong scented flowers on early summer.
