Common Name: Mock Orange
Latin Name: Philadelphus coronarius Aureus
Soil: Fertile, well-drained soil
Position: Full sun or partial shade
Flowering period/colour: April-July / pure white
Hardiness: Fully hardy
Eventual height/spread: 2.5m / 1.5m
Special features: Vibrant golden green foliage and fragrant summer flowers.
The ‘Aureus’ is a fantastic shrub which really brightens up a mixed bed or border. The ovate leaves are bright yellow when young, later maturing to golden green. In summer, clusters of pretty white flowers cover the shrub and these have a strong and sweet fragrance. This is great for accent planting, particularly next to one of the darker ‘Mock Orange’ forms like the ‘Lemoinei’. The ‘Aureus’ will also tolerate urban pollution or salt-laden air.
