'Snowbelle' mock orange (Philadelphus 'Snowbelle') is a shrub for borders, hedges, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows 36 to 48 inches tall and wide. The double white flowers are fragrant and open in late spring, with more blooms in early to late summer. Once settled, it tolerates drought.
