Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a site with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably, place the plant at the same depth it was growing previously, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, during the first growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Sweet Mock Orange is relatively low-maintenance. Water during dry spells, especially while the plant is young. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch a few inches away from the stems. Prune after flowering if needed to shape the shrub or remove older stems. This shrub generally has few pest or disease problems when grown in suitable conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne Sweet Mock Orange bare root starter plant, approximately 12-24 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739752300854,"sku":"EDNA-190","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8125721343_b4j7.jpg?v=1792115074","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1-sweet-mock-orange-shrub-fragrant-white-blooms-bare-root-starter-plant-12-24","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
