A successful GrootGroenPlus – thank you! 🌿

We look back on a successful GrootGroenPlus trade fair.

It was a pleasure to meet so many customers, partners and fellow professionals. Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, took the time to talk with us and showed interest in our assortment for the coming season.

After a busy trade fair week, it is time to put another plant group in the spotlight.

And this week, it is all about Philadelphus.

White flowers and a fragrance that belongs to summer

Philadelphus, commonly known as mock orange, is one of those shrubs that is hard to miss when in flower. Its elegant white blooms appear in abundance in early summer and, in many varieties, bring with them the characteristic sweet fragrance for which Philadelphus is so well known.

With 16 varieties still available in our assortment, there is plenty to choose from.

And although white flowers may be the common thread, the differences between the varieties are surprisingly large.

Looking for something beyond green foliage?

Philadelphus coronarius ‘Aureus’ immediately stands out with its bright golden-yellow foliage. Combined with the white flowers, it creates a fresh contrast even before flowering begins.

Philadelphus coronarius ‘Mirador’ also combines attractive foliage with abundant white flowers, while Philadelphus maculatus ‘Mexican Jewel’ adds fragrant white blooms and a distinctive, elegant appearance.

When flowers are the main attraction

Some varieties are all about abundant flowering.

Philadelphus ‘Belle Etoile’ produces large, fragrant white flowers, often with a distinctive purple-red marking in the centre.

‘Bouquet Blanc’ lives up to its name with an abundance of pure white flowers, while the compact ‘Dame Blanche’ combines rich flowering with a refined growth habit.

Classics such as ‘Lemoinei’, ‘Mont Blanc’ and ‘Virginal’ remain strong choices for customers looking for reliable flowering and fragrance.

For something with even more flower volume, ‘Minnesota Snowflake’ and ‘Snowbelle’ stand out with their attractive double white flowers.

And then there is ‘Schneesturm’.

Its name translates as snowstorm – and when the plant is covered in white flowers in early summer, it is easy to see why.

Compact plants, plenty of character

Not every Philadelphus needs a lot of space.

‘Manteau d’Hermine’ is a compact selection with double white flowers and is well suited to smaller gardens and borders.

‘Petite Perfume Pink’ adds something different with its compact growth, fragrance and delicate pink-tinged flowers.

‘Silberregen’ offers an elegant, richly flowering appearance, while ‘Starbright’™ combines large fragrant white flowers with strong ornamental value.

16 varieties, each with its own character

From golden foliage and compact growth to double flowers and strong fragrance, Philadelphus offers much more variation than its classic white flowers might suggest.

Whether you are looking for a compact garden plant, a richly flowering shrub or a fragrant early-summer highlight, there is a Philadelphus to match.
