Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots without crowding, and position the crown at or slightly below soil level. Backfill with native soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle the soil. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater regularly during the first growing season to help the roots establish. Once established, Sweet Mock Orange is relatively drought tolerant but performs best with consistent moisture. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove older stems, which encourages vigorous new growth and better blooming the following year. This shrub is generally pest and disease resistant when grown in well-drained soil with good air circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree (3) Sweet Mock Orange bare root starter plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739752268086,"sku":"EDNA-189","price":102.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8077805736_lucr.jpg?v=1792115071","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/3-sweet-mock-orange-starter-plants-fragrant-white-flowering-shrub-3-bare-root","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
