Philadelphus 'Belle Etoile'

Philadelphus "Belle Etoile" is a medium-sized, deciduous barnyard jasmine with a bushy, upright and wide spreading form. The leaves are dark green and oval, the branches arched, overhanging. From June to July, this philadelphus blooms profusely with white, fragrant, single flowers with purple-purple spots in the center. Farmer's Jasmine does well in sun and partial shade and is not selective about soil pH as long as it is well-draining and sufficiently fertile. This plant is very hardy, low maintenance, a good coastal plant, sea wind and air pollution tolerant and attractive to bees and butterflies.
