With a smaller, more compact habit, you can plant this spring favorite just about anywhere! Illuminati Spice® mock orange has a 4’ x 4’ rounded form, fitting easily into the middle of the border and even making a handsome low hedge. Its massive double flowers line slightly arched, elegant stems. A high flower count produces a powerful citrusy perfume. It has the same healthy, thick foliage as the other members of the Illuminati series, making a handsome backdrop for plants with summer and fall interest. Hardy to Zone 4.

Illuminati Spice mock orange can be grown as a small specimen, flowering hedge, or in and amongst perennials and other plants in your landscape. 

Will need little pruning - it blooms on old wood, so any pruning you wish to do should be done after flowering. 

If you wish to fertilize, one application of a granular rose or garden fertilizer in early spring is sufficient.


The scientific name for mockorange, Philadelphus, translates to "brotherly love." The common name, mockorange, derives from the fragrance of the flowers, which does indeed resemble orange blossoms.
