| Do you have any more pics of that gorgeous Mock Orange?
I have never grown one but bought one this past Thursday. It is a Snow White Sensation Mock Orange. We are in the same area and I was wondering how long have you had it planted? Do you have any problems with Japanese Beetles eating it? Thanks in advance,

| Thanks lsst! I will be at my mil's tomorrow but will take some more pictures Monday. Mine is 7 years old. It is an unattractive shrub most of the year so I have it planted in with some other shrubs and not as a specimen. I also heavily prune it for arrangements each year. Japanese beetles probably do eat some leaves but again, it's in an unobtrusive area of the yard so I don't care. Some years it gets little white caterpillars that really eat up the leaves but it hasn't ever effected the next years bloom. I did buy it in bloom and it is highly fragrant. |
