Syringa vulgaris 'My Favorite' | My Favorite Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘My Favorite’ is a traditional lilac known for fragrant, lavender-purple flower clusters that open in mid to late spring. Plump buds expand into full, conical panicles of single florets, creating a rich spring display that pairs well with the plant’s fresh green, heart-shaped leaves as they emerge.

This cultivar is associated with Hulda Klager’s lilac breeding and collection in Woodland, Washington, and is documented as a Klager introduction from 1928 in the International Lilac Society register. It remains a long-grown garden choice for dependable spring bloom and classic lilac perfume near patios, paths, and entry gardens, and for fresh-cut arrangements indoors during the peak of spring bloom.
