I purchased this mock orange shrub from Forest Farm a few years ago because it sounded like the best cultivar out of the many they had in...Read More their catalog. I checked online and they no longer offer it as of now. It is just how it was described. Shorter than the species, branches spilling over with clouds of pure white double blossoms that emit a powerful aroma of orange blossoms and honeysuckle that floats on the breeze.
'Bouquet Blanc' is a managable size, blooms when very young (unlike other mockoranges) blooms profusely, has double white flowers like small camelias or gardenias clustered on the branches and the most beautifully sweet aroma. Mine is just outside my living room window and when I have the window open the fragrance wafts in like perfume but not overpowering. I also have Philadelphus 'Virginal' (6 years to bloom) and Philadelphus coronarius (some years no bloom) and though these too have fragrance, 'Bouquet Blanc' is the best.
