Sweet Mock Orange

Also known as English Dogwood, Common Mock-orange, Mock Orange

Sweet mock orange is a arching deciduous shrub celebrated for its profuse summer display of creamy white blooms that emit a powerful fragrance resembling orange blossoms. Native to the Caucasus, this hardy shrub naturalizes readily in rocky woodland edges and scrublands across Europe and eastern North America. Its sweet nectar attracts honeybees, bumblebees, and various butterflies throughout its peak late-spring flowering window.
