Illuminati Tower® has the mock orange attributes in a smaller size. The dark green foliage on each all four sides of the branch adds interesting foliage to your garden. The white flowers come out in late spring/early summer and are very fragrant, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. The plant is also drought tolerant once it is established; and its small size means you can grow it just about anywhere. It thrives as a low hedge, specimen plant, container plant, as borders, and in the landscape, and is deer resistant.
