Philadelphus lewisii ‘Covelo’, Covelo Mock Orange

Sweetly fragrant, pure white blossoms with yellow stamens cover this desirable, deciduous native shrub in late spring, attracting bees and butterflies. Reaches to 8 ft. tall and wide with a vaguely umbrella shape. This selection is somewhat denser than ‘Marjorie Schmidt’ in both foliage and flower, with leaves that are less serrated. Enjoys full sun to light shade and moderate to regular summer water. Tolerant of clay soil. Works well in a large container.
