Mock Orange, in the garden usually called false jasmine or pipe bush, flowers in late May and June with a strong scent. In the LWG's list, nectar and pollen are both listed as low, while the NaturaDB rates both one level higher, as moderate. Double-flowered varieties, which predominate in gardens, provide nothing at all.
