Q:When I was a child, my grandmother had a beautiful bush that had
wonderful small orange/yellow blooms. She called it mock orange. My mom
told me she believed my grandmother took a "slip" and planted it. I have
seen one recently in a wooded area along the roadside but I can't find it
at local nurseries. They do carry a mock orange plant, but it has white
flowers and doesn't resemble my grandmother's plant at all. From what I've
read, these can be difficult to grow from cuttings. Do you know where I
can buy one?
Answer: I think the cultivar you're looking for is the native species
called philadelphus gordonianas. I have checked the growers list for the
Virginia Nursery and Landscape Association, and no one is listed as
growing it.
I did discover, however, that it can be rooted from softwood cuttings.
Softwood is the new growth before it gets woody. On most plants, this
stage would be ready to root in late May or early June. You will need to
use a rooting hormone and keep it in a greenhouse environment.
