Syringa vulgaris 'Belle de Nancy' | Belle de Nancy Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Belle de Nancy’ is a classic French lilac with fragrant, fully double flowers that open in mid to late spring. Purplish-pink buds expand to lilac-pink florets that can soften to bluish mauve as they age, filling upright panicles and perfuming the garden, especially during calm spring evenings. Heart-shaped green leaves provide a clean backdrop through summer.

Introduced in 1891 by Victor Lemoine & Fils in Nancy, France, ‘Belle de Nancy’ remains valued for dependable bloom and elegant cut-flower clusters. It fits naturally in borders and near patios or entries where fragrance is welcome, and spent panicles can be removed after flowering to keep the plant looking tidy.
