More about this plant
Illuminati Tower mockorange is a deciduous shrub with a narrow, space saving upright habit, growing 5 to 6 feet tall and only 3 to 4 feet wide on dark green foliage. Hundreds of very fragrant white flowers open in late spring to early summer with the sweet orange blossom scent the genus is known for. It takes part sun to sun, average water and little care, and is deer resistant and drought tolerant once established. Because it blooms on old wood, prune only after flowering. Use it as a narrow hedge, a border plant, a container thriller or a specimen where space is tight.
