Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This lovely variety of the species patula - the Manchurian Lilac, grows into a tall graceful shrub with arching branches. Richly colored clusters of small fragrant blossoms appear in late May, in various shades of lavender-pink. As with all lilacs, pruning of old flowering wood should be done immediately after flowering to maintain a desirable size and shape. (We could not have given you the correct name of this species without the help of Freek Vrugtman, Curator Emeritus of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada).
