Mock Orange is grown for its fragrant, white flowers, produced in late spring after the leaves. Flowering is best in full sun, but the plant tolerates shade. A shrub or bush is a horticultural rather than strictly botanical category of woody plant, distinguished from a tree by its multiple stems and lower height, usually less than 5-6 m (15-20 ft) tall. A large number of plants can be either shrubs or trees, depending on the growing conditions they experience.
