Welcome to our plant search tool. This database contains many of the thousands of plants that we carry. There are some notable exceptions. Hundreds of new perennials come out every year and Make It Green has been a leader in making them available to you. Eventually the recent introductions will make it to our plant search tool but every year there will be a lag between our in-store plant selection and this search tool. Unfortunately this search tool can't cover everything that we will carry this year. We also carry over 100 varieties of rare and unusual evergreens and over 100 varieties of hard-to-find shrubs many of which are not in the plant search. Click on the Plant List button for a list of nearly all the woody plants (trees, shrubs and evergreens) that we have ordered or already have in stock for this coming year.
Snow Dwarf Mockorange
Philadelphus 'Snow Dwarf'
Height: 3 feet
Spread: 3 feet
Sunlight:
Hardiness Zone: 4a
Description:
A compact mounded flowering shrub covered in sweetly scented double white blooms in early summer; spectacular in flower, fades to the background the rest of the year, use in conjunction with other plants; very adaptable, good compact form for a mockorange
Ornamental Features
Snow Dwarf Mockorange is clothed in stunning clusters of fragrant white flowers at the ends of the branches in late spring. It has dark green deciduous foliage. The serrated oval leaves do not develop any appreciable fall colour.
Landscape Attributes
Snow Dwarf Mockorange is a dense multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It has no significant negative characteristics.
Snow Dwarf Mockorange is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- Hedges/Screening
- General Garden Use
Planting & Growing
Snow Dwarf Mockorange will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. It tends to fill out right to the ground and therefore doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 30 years.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
