Philadelphus 'Belle Etoile' is a vigorous, deciduous shrub with a fountain-like habit and arching cane-like stems. It is grown for the masses of fragrant white flowers from mid Spring through Summer.
Oval, mid green leaves are arranged in opposites along the stems and turn yellow in autumn before dropping.
Simple, cup shaped flowers of pure white petals with a pink blush at the base and fluffy yellow stamens. The flowers have a delicate perfume that is orange blossom-like.
A beautiful shrub for cottage gardens and fragrant gardens, its elegant habit creates excellent contrast.
