CHEYENNE^® mock orange

CHEYENNE® mock orange outperforms other species of Philadelphus with its profusion of pure white flowers that blanket the plant late in spring and continue to bloom sporadically until mid-summer. Four-petaled flowers have an eye-catching yellow center and a sweet, citrus-like fragrance.

CHEYENNE® mock orange has a soft texture that typically isn't found in native/xeric shrubs. It breaks the mold of what many people think a tough, drought-tolerant shrub looks like! The blue-green, oval-shaped leaves and pleasing billowy habit (that can become somewhat vase-shaped with age) make this a perfect plant for a mixed-shrub planting or the back of a naturalistic garden/landscape. It tolerates poor, heavy soil, even thriving in dry, shaded locations. Read the plant story.

Pro tips: It can get somewhat large with time. Prune once blooming has finished to maintain the size.
