From May to June, this remarkable shrub erupts with a profusion of pure white, single flowers, each measuring about 2.5 cm in diameter and adorned with striking yellow stamens. The blooms are held in dazzling clusters of three to five along the branches, creating a breathtaking display that persists well into July and August.

Our passionate team is always ready to provide advice and support to ensure that your Mock Orange ‘Lemoinei’ settles in quickly and flourishes for years to come. This adaptable shrub is easy to grow and maintain, tolerating pruning well to keep its size in check, making it an ideal choice for both experienced gardeners and those new to the joys of gardening.
To ensure your Philadelphus thrives, plant it in a spot with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, mock oranges are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during extended dry periods. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the shrub to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune your ‘Lemoinei’ immediately after flowering, removing any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a desired shape and promote healthy growth.

What Are Bare Root Trees?
Bare root trees are young trees sold without soil around their roots during their dormant season. This method of selling trees has been practised for centuries and offers numerous advantages for both gardeners and the environment. Typically available late Autumn to early Spring.
The Bare Root Advantage
Cost-Effective
Bare root trees are typically less expensive than their container-grown counterparts. Without the need for pots, soil, and extensive care during growth, these savings are passed on to you.
Easier to Plant
The absence of soil means bare root trees are lighter and easier to handle. This makes planting a breeze, especially when dealing with larger quantities or varieties.
Quicker Establishment
Counter-intuitively, bare root trees in some instances establish faster than container-grown trees. Their exposed root systems quickly adapt to native soil, developing a robust network that supports rapid growth.
Environmentally Friendly
Bare root trees are a green choice. They require less water during nursery care and transportation, reducing their carbon footprint. Plus, there’s no plastic pot waste!
When to Plant Bare Root Trees
The window for planting bare root trees is limited to their dormant season, typically from late autumn to early spring. This period allows the trees to establish themselves before the demands of new growth in spring.
Planting and Care Tips
- Soak roots in water for a few hours before planting
- Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the spread roots
- Plant at the same depth as the soil mark on the stem
- Backfill with native soil, firming gently
- Water well and mulch around the base
- Stake larger trees to provide support
Why Choose Bare Root Trees?
- Value for Money: Get more trees for your budget
- Wider Selection: Access to a broader range of species and varieties
- Better for Transplanting: Less shock to the tree during the planting process
- Ideal for Larger Projects: Perfect for hedgerows, orchards, or woodland creation
Environmental Impact
By choosing bare root trees, you’re making a positive impact on the environment. These trees are carbon positive, meaning they absorb more carbon dioxide than is produced in their cultivation and transportation. As they grow, they continue to sequester carbon, improve air quality, and provide habitats for wildlife.
Embrace the bare root revolution and watch your garden flourish with these dormant dynamos. Plant a legacy that will grow for generations to come!
