- In the back of a Hudson's Golden Gem apple guild, the native mock orange (Philadelphus lewisii) is blooming! Learn about this beautiful plant and it's place in any cottage or permaculture garden.
I just returned to your video after 2 years and managed to finish the rest. Let me say I really enjoy your approach to gardening and "filling in" spaces rather than doing really pretty little landscaped area with shrubs evenly spaced.
When I bought my first home my mother bought all my plants and shrubs as I had no interest at the time in gardening. She bought me a mock orange for my backyard and oh, my, lawd if it isn't my most favourite bush ever!!! Even my neighbour, whom the shrub shares the fence with sticks her head over the fence and remarks how lovely it is. I only wish it stayed in bloom longer! It's about 10ft from my bedroom window and I leave my window open all spring/summer and when it's in bloom it's like falling asleep in a field of heaven. Now I love gardening and flowers and understand how rewarding it is keeping things alive and in bloom, next spring I plan to add 2 more minimum, I've yet to find another flower/bush that smells as good!
thank your Mom
I live on a major highway with 20k cars passing my house a week. Good for you for making a sanctuary in the city!
I get too much exhaust to grow edible things except in a small protected part of my backyard.
Luckily with plants, there can be so much more to focus with.
My focus is natives, for bees and critters.
Hoping to have a mock orange shrub to fragrance the breezes that come my way from the front.
Beautiful !! Could you please do another video on this and take a video of the plant with the clematis a little further out so at can see what it looks like as a whole? Thank you so much!!
thank you for the video! good to know how big and floppy it gets. i will definitely need to move mine. it'll be getting in the way once it grows.
Beautiful garden, beautiful shrub! ♥
Beautiful!
I do love mock orange! Sooo fragrant!
The best smell! I wish companies made candles with the scent!
How do you prune back this plant? Can you show us how?
I love the scent of Philadelphus.
Love that white flower!!! Did you say the mock orange lewisii makes a good privacy hedge?
If this is good at blooming now, I definitely want one. Looking around, I don’t have much blooming right now, so I need to think about things to add flowering food right now for the pollinators. Thanks for the recommendation!
Mine smells like jasmine’s cousin
does it smell like orange blossoms? it's really pretty
It does. Although the fragrance varies from variety to variety/species . There is a huge double ruffle one in my neighborhood that has a much stronger and slightly different fragrance.
@@ParkrosePermaculture Do you have any idea if Mock Orange is edible?
@@Maorawrath what part were you thinking of eating? 🤔
@@dispmonk The leaves.
@@Maorawrath no, no known edible parts for Philadelphus lewisii.
I KNOW THAT THESE FLOWERS ARE NOT FROM MY Country India,they are from America
Me. Me. Me. Me. 😣
You have privilege or you made different choices than other people?
FFS whats with all the virtue signalling in the beginning? I just wanted to hear about the Mock Orange.... sorry if that comes across as hostile you sound perfectly nice but "petroleum based society" and "I live in privilege"?
It’s a permaculture channel. It’s in the name ;)
Imagine letting someone acknowledging privilege bother you lmaooo
Hi where can I purchase this from? Does it grow from cuttings & or seeds?
@@geriannroth449 I bought mine from Aldi’s. All the growth was dead but it recovered from roots. It’s pretty big now 2 years in. I have never tried propagating it.
