Celinda
Philadelphus coronarius
Un arbusto caducifolio grande, vigoroso y de varios troncos, cultivado sobre todo por sus flores blancas puras intensamente fragantes, que se abren en racimos acopados a finales de primavera o principios de verano con un aroma intenso muy parecido al del azahar. Nativo del sureste de Europa y la región del Cáucaso (no de América del Norte), forma un montículo arqueado, denso y oval de 10-12 feet de altura y es uno de los arbustos aromáticos clásicos más fiables para pleno sol o semisombra: fácil, resistente al frío y poco exigente una vez establecido, aunque su espectáculo es una única explosión gloriosa de varias semanas y no una temporada larga.

Cold hardiness
Future
These values are location-based: this location's current hardiness is the baseline, and the 2050 value is a projected future climate for this same location.

Well-suited
2050
Zone 7a
Plotwright
Projected zone for this same location in 2050 (2041-2070) using SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry).
Well-suited
In plain terms: This location is in Zone 6b today. Its hardiness profile is cold winters, and coldest nights are typically around -3°F. By 2050, the projected hardiness zone is Zone 7a based on SSP3-7.0 (regional rivalry). That is a +0.5-zone shift from Zone 6b to Zone 7a by 2050.
✓
Well-suited today and still thriving in 2050.
Heat tolerance
Future
Heat tolerance values are location-based too: heat days today are observed at this site, and the 2050 value projects this same location under a future climate.
