Mockorange ‘Blizzard’
Mockorange ‘Blizzard’
Philadelphus lewisii
The Alberta selection known as Blizzard is aptly named for its stunning abundance of pure white flowers and exceptional hardiness. The name "mockorange" is inspired by the delightful citrus scent of its blossoms. Blizzard comes from a specific branch of the Philadelphus species native to western North America. Known for attracting bees and butterflies, Blizzard Mockorange blooms on new wood throughout May - June, continuing to flower after many other plants have finished.
