Philadelphus lewesii 'Blizzard'

Philadelphus lewisii Blizzard is a Canadian selection of our northwest native Mock orange that is said to be more winter hardy and more free flowering than the species. It is densely shrubby in habit with attractive red brown new stems. The name Blizzard is a good description of the flurry of single flowers that open over several weeks. This selection is indeed fragrant.
