Philadelphus lewisii

Philadelphus lewisii is the state flower of Idaho. It makes a great background shrub or specimen plant. Plant it close to paths, windows, or entryways to enjoy the fragrant blossoms!

• Grows up to 5-12 ft. tall (150-360 cm) and 6-12 ft. wide (180-360 cm).
• A full sun to partial shade lover, this plant is tolerant of a wide variety of conditions, from moist to dry soils. Drought tolerant, though sometimes a little additional water can help it to thrive and flower more vigorously
• Great for shrub borders, foundation plantings, and informal flowering hedges.
• Generally pest and disease free. Keep an eye out for leaf spots, canker, powdery mildew, and rust.
• Blooms on previous year’s wood, so prune immediately after flowering. Old plants can be rejuvenated after flowering by cutting old wood back to the ground.
• Native to western North America, from northwestern California in the Sierra Nevada, north to southern British Columbia, and east to Idaho and Montana.
