This Mock Orange is a hardy little shrub that can tolerate salt-laden air and urban sites; it is the perfect choice for planting in a sunny border. The ovate, mid-green leaves are packed on to the gently arching branches and in summer the leaves are accompanied by pretty white flowers. The single flowers are highly fragrant and are popular with wildlife. This is a great little shrub which requires little up-keep.
