How to care for your Philadelphus Coronarius Variegatus

• Soil and Watering: Thrives in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. It prefers regular watering during the growing season, but be sure not to overwater as this can cause root rot.
• Light: This plant prefers full sun to partial shade, and will do best when planted in an area that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Pruning: Pruning is not necessary, but can be done to shape the plant or remove any dead or damaged branches. Prune after flowering, as the shrub sets buds for the following year’s flowers during the Summer months.
• Fertiliser: This plant does not require regular fertilisation, but you can add a slow-release fertiliser in the Spring to encourage growth and flowering.

By following these simple care instructions, you can keep your Philadelphus Coronarius Variegatus healthy and thriving for years to come, while enjoying its beautiful foliage and fragrant flowers.
