Tips for Care:
Plant them in a sunny spot that gets at least six hours of sunlight a day. The more sun, the more flowers! Mock Orange roots can’t tolerate wet soil, so needs well-drained soils to thrive. If you have soggy, low spots where you want to use them…bring in additional soil three feet wide by 18 inches high for a planting mound. Be sure to use Nature Hills Root Booster when planting to help your new shrub’s tiny feeder roots take up micronutrients. The symbiotic ingredients work continuously over the entire life of the plant. Moderate water is required regularly. Set up a schedule of supplemental water, if you don’t get adequate rainfall. Mulch over the roots, but pull it back away from touching the stems.
Train your shrubs to produce plenty of side branches with yearly pruning right after the flowers fade. Do a simple pinching back after the flowers are finished to encourage lateral buds to develop. This will help your shrub develop a full, bushy growth habit over time. Simply snip off the last few inches of every branch. When planted properly, the plant can tolerate brief periods of drought, and it is deer resistant. This carefree beauty has no real pest or disease problems.
