Syringa vulgaris 'Mont Blanc' | Mont Blanc Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Mont Blanc’ is a classic French lilac selected for its clean, white flower trusses that open from pale greenish buds. Flowering in late spring, it produces full, conical panicles with a sweet, familiar lilac fragrance that carries well in the garden. Fresh green, heart-shaped leaves create a dense, leafy backdrop that stays attractive through the growing season.

This cultivar was introduced in 1915 by Victor Lemoine of Nancy, France, and remains widely grown for dependable spring display. After bloom, the shrub’s upright branching and tidy foliage keep it looking refined, making it a natural fit for borders, foundation plantings, and cutting gardens where stems can be brought indoors for scent.
