common mock orange · Philadelphus coronarius
Also known as: common syringa
Sweet mock-orange thrives in well-drained soil with regular watering, though it's able to withstand occasional dry spells. It prefers full sun to partial shade and requires pruning after flowering to maintain shape and promote the growth of the following year's blooms. Its hardy nature makes it a low-maintenance addition to landscapes.
