| I planted Philadelphus virginalis last autumn as I heard the scent was really wonderful. The other philadelphus in the garden have marvellous scent so I was really looking forward to the new shrub. Result: Lovely double flowers, but no scent whatsoever. So disappointing because it looks so good, but a philadelphus without scent!! Is there a possibility it could one day have scent, or is that it? |

I had one which had no scent and it never developed one! I got rid of it eventually as the main reason for having one is for the scent. I now have two others - a golden-leaved one and a variegated one. They are being very slow and haven't flowered yet.
I think you'd be best off buying one in flower and giving it the sniff test before parting with your money. |

| Delay in responding or what!! Thank you for your comment Garden Nerd [back in June last year]. We are now in Autumn 2010 and I am going to get rid of the Philadelphus Virginalis as it takes up a lot of precious space for little return. Thanks for your input and sorry for ridiculous delay! |
