Philadelphus 'Manteau d'Hermine' is a cherished dwarf shrub renowned for its profusion of highly fragrant creamy white double flowers in loose panicles, gracing the garden during early summer. This versatile plant thrives in various conditions, from sun to semi-shade, although full sun is preferable for the richest scent. Ideal companions include other summer-flowering perennials and shrubs. Reaching a height of 100cm (39 inches), it adds elegance and fragrance to borders, woodland gardens, and cottage-style landscapes. Its only dislike may be overly wet or waterlogged soil, so ensure good drainage for optimal growth.
