Insights
Philadelphus originated in North and Central America as well as Asia. In 1562 an Ambassador to the Holy Roman Emperor took a Philadelphus from an Ottoman garden to Vienna, and it spread throughout Europe. This variety was bred by the celebrated 19th-century French plantsman Victor Lemoine.
