Philadelphus coronarius Silver Showers

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 20cm pots is 4 units 

Philadelphus coronarius ‘Silver Showers’ is a striking deciduous shrub known for its arching branches, variegated foliage, and clusters of highly fragrant, creamy-white flowers in late spring to early summer. Its elegant form and sweet citrus-like scent make it a standout in garden borders and cottage-style landscapes.

In Australia, ‘Silver Showers’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular watering during dry periods supports its lush growth, while light pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages more blooms the following season. It is adaptable to a range of climates but benefits from protection against extreme heat.

Ideal companion plants include lavender, salvias, and ornamental grasses, which complement its soft white blooms and provide seasonal interest. When planted alongside other flowering shrubs or perennials, ‘Silver Showers’ enhances the garden with its delicate beauty and intoxicating fragrance, making it a perfect choice for sensory gardens or mixed borders.
