Cascading stems of highly fragrant, double, white flowers with pointed petals emerge from late spring and early summer.

How to care for Philadelphus Minnesota Snowflake:
Mulch around the roots in spring with a deep layer of well-rotted garden compost or manure. Prune in late summer, immediately after flowering, removing one in four of the older stems to ground level.
Please note:
This shrub is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
