'Tall n Tough' has weathered temperatures down to 0º F without so much as cringing. It is a dense shrub that has deep green, lustrous, oval, evergreen leaves in geometric whorls, and in spring, large clusters of creamy white flowers with a heady orange-blossom fragrance. This plant will work in a looser landscape of other "geometric" plants, or equally well in a formal landscape - a boundary crosser. Don't let the common name fool you; it is nothing like the Mock Oranges with which you may be familiar. Loved by bees, butterflies, and hummers.

Blooms earlier and longer than the Philadelphus mock oranges in our gardens and is a good substitute for those who desire the early summer fragrance without the maintenance required of many deciduous shrubs. Our specimen is in full sun on the SW corner of one of our buildings, next to a large gravel walkway, with minimal supplemental summer water. The shrub will also excel with regular water and part-sun as long as the soil drains well. 

Evergreen shrub: mature size: 8 ft tall x 6 ft wide.

Minimum temperature: 0° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
