Is it white rather than the hint of pink in the pic laney? The leaves look like philadelphus. Is it scented? Any small detail you can provide helps with ID
Sorry, I have only had a garden that i can do anything in for 2yrs.. Its like a tree, with long bendy branches. flowers r white and scented..the perfume not too strong though. thanks. xx
Has this particular shrub a specific way of pruning?? or should i just hack it right down???It needs bringing under control without killing it cos its lovely.. x
Don’t make my ill informed mistake before I knew what a spade was all about! I pruned at completely the wrong time and had no flowers at all the following year. Last year however, once it had finished flowering I pruned aprox one third of the old stems right to ground level. It’s now looking full, lush and with what looks like a million flowers (which are just bursting out today).
