Syringa vulgaris 'Madame Lemoine' | Madame Lemoine Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Madame Lemoine’ is a classic French lilac that flowers in mid to late spring with abundant panicles of fragrant, double white blossoms opening from creamy buds. The rounded clusters of blossoms often persist three to four weeks, filling the air with sweet perfume as heart-shaped green leaves develop and frame the blooms during the season.

Named in honor of the wife of famed French hybridizer Victor Lemoine, this cultivar has been grown for well over a century and is widely regarded as one of the best white lilacs for spring bloom. Its open, upright habit and long-lasting floral display make it suitable for mixed shrub borders and shrub specimens where the floral perfume and elegant white color can be enjoyed close up.
