Icelandic™ Mockorange

Icelandic™ is a named Philadelphus coronarius selection with green foliage edged in creamy white and fragrant, pure-white flowers that open in June. Its tidy, close-growing presentation gives the shrub foliage interest before and after flowering. ### Site and season The [Icelandic product profile](https://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/66134-product.html) describes this selection and recommends full sun or part shade in average, well-drained garden soil. Plant it where the early-summer fragrance can be enjoyed, such as near a patio or along a garden path. The creamy margins also make the foliage visible in a mixed shrub border. ### Flowering display White flowers and variegated leaves are the defining features of ‘Icezam’. Use it as a specimen or in a small group, keeping the foliage pattern distinct from nearby solid-green shrubs. The [cultivar profile](https://www.gardencentermarketing.com/plantName/Philadelphus-coronarius-Icelandic) identifies the exact ‘Icezam’ selection and notes June bloom. ## Maintenance Prune flowering shoots after bloom if shaping is needed. On a mature mock orange, remove a few of the oldest canes at ground level in late winter or early spring to encourage renewal, following the [Philadelphus growing guide](https://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/66134-product.html).
