Mock Orange Pearls of Perfume

Pearls of Perfume Mock Orange

Pearls of Perfume Mock Orange is a charming deciduous shrub prized for its intoxicating fragrance and elegant white flowers. In mid to late spring, pearl-like buds open into clusters of pure white blooms, releasing a strong citrus-orange scent that perfumes the surrounding garden. The glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop for the flowers and remains attractive throughout the growing season.

This compact mock orange variety is ideal for smaller gardens, borders, and patio plantings where fragrance can be fully enjoyed. It works beautifully near walkways, entryways, or outdoor seating areas. Pearls of Perfume offers a refined growth habit and reliable flowering, making it a standout choice for gardeners who value sensory appeal as much as visual beauty. Its adaptability and moderate maintenance needs make it suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun to partial shade. Full sun encourages the best flowering and strongest fragrance.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Once established, it prefers moderate moisture and tolerates brief dry spells.

Pruning:
Prune immediately after flowering, as blooms form on old wood. Remove spent stems to encourage new growth.

Pest Control:
Generally pest and disease resistant. Occasionally monitor for aphids or leaf miners.

Soil Tips:
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Amend with organic matter to improve moisture retention and nutrient levels.
