Flowering starts with ‘Little White Love’ with double blooms from May to July, followed by ‘Belle Etoile’ with single blooms and’Manteau d’Hermine’ with double blooms from June to July. The latter two of these both hold the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit which is recognition of their outstanding and reliable performance in the garden. Plants are perfect either in containers or in the ground and will pull in pollinators as well as making excellent cut blooms for vases and bouquets. Ideal for planting neara path or seat where the mock orange perfume can be most enjoyed. All three varieties prefer a spot in moist, well-drained soil which benefits from full sun or part shade. All are hardy, deciduous shrubs. Collection comprises: ‘Little White Love’ H&S: 1m ‘Belle Etoile’ H:1.5m S: 2.5m ‘Manteau d’Hermine’ H: 1m S:1.5m
