The lovely and totally unique pastel, creamy-yellow flowers of this compact 8-12' lilac make this attractive bloomer a nice surprise. The soft-yellow color is more intense in cooler climates and paler in warmer zones, either way they contrast beautifully with the lavender shades of other lilacs. This shrub creates a beautiful spring display in the garden or vase. S/M
