When I was at Fashion in Bloom last September I noticed this cool plant in full bloom. Upon closer examination I noticed that it was a Mock Orange. I've always loved mock oranges, (philadelphus), but they are generally short bloomed.
This new variety has excellent foliage, and will flower several times during the season. The flowers are an absolute pure white, and the fragrance is perfect. Not too overpowering, but it wafts gently through the air to your nose. The bloom time is also longer than the old fashioned form by several weeks. Once you experience the stimulating fragrance of Philadelphus, you're spring days will forever be filled with the sweet memory. An old-fashioned favorite, Philadelphus is a deciduous shrub with a graceful, fountain-like habit and snow white blooms of the sweetest fragrance. Leave it to Novalis to offer a Mock Orange that gives an encore performance! A repeat flowering new hybrid, Snow White Sensation™ boasts 2" double flowers born in clusters that bloom abundantly in spring and then again in summer. A versatile shrub with a wide growing range, the pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers are but one great attribute of this under utilized spring-flowering shrub. Attractive foliage on gracefully arching branches guarantees Snow White Sensation™ easy placement in the garden with other flowering shrubs. What charming impact: a wonderful new addition to the landscape border, with two seasons of flower and dark-green foliage that stands up to summer heat!
