Philadelphus cf. microphyllus CEH 2217

An Arizona collection of this Southwestern Mock Orange which makes an excellent rock garden or low-water subject with its dense shrubby habit and fragrant white flowers. The foliage holds its own as well with a mint-green softness provided by the minute pale hairs which coat each leaf that one could in this case call either peach fuzz or mock-orange fuzz, and which require no need of razoring.
