Growing Tips for Philadelphus lewisii 'Pearls of Perfume™'
For optimal care of this hardy shrub, choose a location with full sun to part shade and dig a hole twice the width of the pot. Plant the shrub 1-2 inches above ground level and backfill the hole with soil, watering deeply to settle it and adding more soil if needed. Apply 1-2 inches of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the stem. Maintain medium moisture levels, fertilize yearly in spring, and prune after spring blooms to encourage healthy growth and extend the flowering season from spring to fall.
