Philadelphus Virginal Hedging

Sometimes known as Mock Orange, Philadelphus Virginal is a strong growing shrub that is covered in fragrant, fully double white blossom in June. It is far and away the best double philadelphus growing in the UK. This is a deciduous shrub that makes a fantastic specimen in a border or sunny corner. For a more dramatic effect, you can use it as a host for a large flowered clematis to contrast with the white orange blossom and to extend the period in which this is interesting in the garden.

Left to its own devices it makes a large bush about 3m tall and nearly the same across. So, if you do not have room for that then it makes an unusual but highly effective informal hedging plant.

If you prefer a single flowered variety, then we sell the scented - unusual for a single Philadelphus - Belle Etoile.

You can buy Philadelphus Virginal online from us as bareroot plants during the winter when we deliver it between November-April. In a hedge, we recommend planting at 50cms intervals.

Growing Philadelphus Virginal plants:
You can grow mock orange anywhere with decent drainage, including on chalk, near the sea and in exposed locations. Dig a hole at least double the size of the plant's root system. Remove large stones, weeds, roots and other rubbish. Mix in some well rotted compost or manure.

Place the plant in the hole, return the soil, firm gently and water well. Remember to water establishing plants during dry weather for at least the first summer after planting.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £6.50 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
