DESCRIPTION
Syringa × hyacinthiflora ‘Pocahontas’ is an early-flowering lilac with deep maroon-purple buds that open to fragrant, single blooms in rich violet tones. Flower panicles are full and upright, creating a concentrated spring display against fresh green, heart-shaped leaves. Stems cut cleanly for indoor fragrance, and the flower color holds well as the trusses mature.
Blooming in early spring, ‘Pocahontas’ marks the start of lilac season and continues for several weeks as clusters open in succession. It is an early flowering hybrid lilac (Syringa oblata × Syringa vulgaris) credited to breeder Frank L. Skinner in the 1930s. Foliage remains tidy through summer and can turn bronzy-red in fall as temperatures cool.
