Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The large, fully-double and very fragrant, soft-pink flowers emerge from deep burgundy buds. The blossoms appear a week earlier than others extending the lilac season! This is a more heat-tolerant specimen eventually reaching 8-12' tall x 6-8' wide. A real sweetheart for hedges, mixed borders and cut flowers. S/M
