Syringa vulgaris 'Pink Elizabeth' | Pink Elizabeth Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Pink Elizabeth’ is a Hulda Klager lilac known for bright reddish-pink florets carried in full, conical trusses. Blooming early to mid-spring in many gardens, the buds deepen in color before opening and releasing a classic, sweet lilac fragrance. Fresh green, heart-shaped leaves emerge alongside the flowers and provide a clean backdrop through the season.

Developed at the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, Washington, ‘Pink Elizabeth’ remains one of the garden’s noted introductions and a dependable cut-flower lilac for spring arrangements. After flowering, the shrub’s branching framework and leafy canopy keep it looking composed, making it easy to place near paths, patios, or entrances where the perfume can be appreciated.
