advice if poss please.
I’ve got a golden leaved philadelphus that has been in the same spot since we moved here about twenty years ago. It’s cut to “tidiness” every year so is kept to about five feet tall. Problem is that just as it starts to look (and smell) amazing, the sun comes out and scorches all the leaves. Have finally decided that I have to take a chance and try to move it to a shady corner. (If it dies, then I’m afraid that’s just too bad as the sunburnt bush is a real eyesore - and I’ve put up with it for twenty years.)
Now the question...... I have bought two new small philadelphus plants (Snowbelle and Manteau d’Hermine). These are green leaved rather than golden. Are they likely to get burnt too does any one know? I was hoping that green leaves would stand up to sunshine so that I could plant them in the same place.
Phew!!
