Notes

'Illuminati Tower' mock orange (Philadelphus coronarius 'Illuminati Tower') 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 stems bear fragrant blooms. It also tolerates drought once settled in, so it suits low-fuss spots.

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