$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘R. and B. Mills’ is a common lilac selected for richly scented, single florets carried in full, upright panicles. Buds open in mid to late spring, filling the shrub with lavender to purple flowers that read deep and saturated in the landscape. Foliage is medium to deep green with the classic lilac, heart-shaped leaves, creating a dense backdrop that looks fresh well beyond bloom.

The cultivar is recorded as a U.S. selection associated with theHuldaKlagerLilacGardens. It is grown primarily for dependable spring bloom, fragrance, and traditional lilac form, fitting naturally into mixed borders, foundation plantings, and cutting gardens.
