Syringa vulgaris 'Lavender Lady' | Lavender Lady Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Lavender Lady’ is a deciduous lilac that blooms in mid-spring, typically around mid-May, with abundant, fragrant clusters of pale lavender to purple flowers. Buds open along upright branches into large conical panicles that fill the air with lilac scent. Fresh green heart-shaped leaves follow the flowering period, keeping the plant ornamental beyond bloom.

This cultivar is noted in nursery and garden literature as a heat-tolerant selection of common lilac that will set buds and flower even in milder winter climates without prolonged cold. Its open, upright form suits use as a border specimen, hedge, or accent shrub. The abundant, sweetly scented blossoms in spring make it a popular choice for cutting and seasonal garden color.
