Mock Orange 'Avalanche', Philadelphus lemoinei 'Avalanche'
Regarded as one of the most fragrant of all Mock Oranges, Philadelphus ‘Avalanche’ is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub of great beauty when in bloom. In late spring to early summer, its pleasantly arching branches bear clusters of cup-shaped, 4-petaled, white flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), at their tips. The blossoms stand out against the foliage of oval, dark green leaves. Introduced in 1896, ‘Avalanche’ is a lovely flowering shrub that deserves a spot where its fragrance can be enjoyed.
