A New Twist on a Fragrant Classic

To truly deserve a place in the garden , a plant should be undischarged in at least two of the three fortunate attributes : color , form , and grain . For years , mock orange tree has had only one — its plethora of sparkling white flowers in spring . Yes , they are lusciously fragrant , but that starry show pass , and you are left with a characterless blob of green foliage . This classical shrub may now merit a second feeling , thanks to the spectacular form of Illuminati Tower ™ . Gone is the gangly wont of squidlike arms common to mock orange , which have been substitute with a narrow , columnar habit — giving this woody a towerlike effect . This might just be the fragrant focal pointedness you never knew your landscape painting was missing .
