Philadelphus × purpureomaculatus is a flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, of garden origin. It is a hybrid between Philadelphus × lemoinei and P. mexicanus 'Rose Syringa'. Growing to 1.20NaN0 tall by 20NaN0 broad, it is a deciduous shrub with broadly oval leaves up to 5cm (02inches) long, and single, cup-shaped flowers in summer (June in the Northern Hemisphere). The flowers, which are strongly fragrant, are pure white with prominent purple markings near the centre;[1] hence the Latin specific epithet purpureomaculatus, literally "purple spotted".[2]
Valued in the garden as a summer-flowering shrub, the cultivars 'Sybille' and 'Belle Etoile' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
