'Mme Lemoine' is a large shrub to small tree reaching 2-3 m in height. The young twigs are bright green and the old bark is grey-brown, flaking off slightly in small patches later in life. The broadly ovoid leaves are 9-12 cm long and are light green to mid-green in colour. The flower panicles are large and quite broad. They are about 15-22 cm long and 10-14 cm wide. The individual flowers, measuring about 1.7 cm, are quite large. The flower buds are pale greenish-yellow. The opened flowers are pure white and fully filled with narrow petals, giving the blooms a finer texture. They have a strong and pleasant fragrance. The flowers open in the first half of May. 'Mme Lemoine' flowers very richly, with up to four flower panicles per branch. This enhances the impression of a full, richly flowering plant.
