Notes

'Illuminati Arch' mock orange (Philadelphus coronarius 'Illuminati Arch') is a shrub for cottage gardens, hedges, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. Its arching branches give it a graceful shape. The fragrant flowers open in spring and again in summer, and the plant tolerates drought once established.

Pairs well with Korean spice viburnum, Karl Rosenfield peony, Blue fescue, and Niobe clematis.
