Magnificent: wine-red buds open to cerise-pink fragrant flowers on this compact (to only 4-6') upright shrub, a chance seedling discovered in Rochester NY; great for small hedge, cutting or just enjoying! S/M

I saw this In Dale Deppe's garden and was very impressed, it is distinctly different from any other lilac we grow with wine red buds opening to incredibly long tubed cerise pink flowers. If you lay a flower head in the rock garden, it could pass for a Dionysia.
