Philadelphus coulteri, often known as Coulter's mock orange, belongs to the hydrangea family, the Hydrangeaceae.
Philadelphus coulteri is admired by gardeners for its dense, green color and fairly large, fragrant blossoms, which attract bees, butterflies and birds. In the UK, it is not widely cultivated, and under cultivation often is confused with similar species, such as Philadelphus pringlei. The distinguishing features of Philadelphus coulteri are the dense, silvery hairiness on the leaves, and its large, "flat flowers" with
roundish, overlapping petals.
Philadelphus coulteri occurs from mountainous areas of central and southern Mexico south into Guatemala.
