DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Nadezhda’ is a Russian lilac cultivar selected by breeder Leonid Kolesnikov; its name translates to “hope.” In late spring, mauve pink buds open into full, double florets that read lilac-blue to blue-lavender, often showing a two-tone effect as the flowers expand. Conical clusters are generous and fragrant, making this a fine choice for cutting.
After bloom, the plant carries clean green foliage that provides a tidy backdrop through summer. The double flowers tend to hold their form well, with individual petals giving each floret a softly layered look. Planted where fragrance can be appreciated, ‘Nadezhda’ offers a classic lilac season with refined color and abundant bloom.
