Syringa x hyacinthiflora 'Anabel' | Anabel Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa × hyacinthiflora ‘Anabel’ is an early-flowering lilac that opens in early to mid-spring with full panicles of fragrant, double pink florets. Buds deepen to rosy pink, then soften as the clusters expand, and the blossoms hold well for cutting. Fresh green, heart-shaped leaves emerge as the flowers peak and keep the shrub looking neat after bloom.

‘Anabel’ originated as a deliberate hybrid between early lilac and common lilac and introduced in the 1950s. It is often listed among the earliest pink lilacs to flower, and foliage may bronze in fall as temperatures cool. Classic lilac scent suits paths and entry gardens before most common lilacs begin.
