Syringa x hyacinthiflora 'Maiden's Blush' | Maiden's Blush Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa × hyacinthiflora ‘Maiden’s Blush’ is an early-blooming lilac that opens in early to mid-spring with fragrant, single florets in pale to medium pink tones. Buds begin a deeper rosy shade, then soften as the panicles expand, creating full, conical clusters held above fresh green, heart-shaped leaves. The flower display arrives ahead of many common lilacs and perfumes paths and entry gardens.

This cultivar belongs to the early-flowering lilacs, a hybrid group derived from Syringa oblata and Syringa vulgaris. ‘Maiden’s Blush’ is recorded in lilac registration references and is widely grown for dependable spring bloom and traditional lilac scent, with clean foliage that carries the shrub through summer after flowering.
