    A Preston Hybrid so very hardy with flowers so dark pink they are almost red; shrub to 8'

    By: Whitman Farms

    This variety has a long admired single, dark purple bloom. Like all of the darker purple lilac blooms a few hours shade in the hottest afternoon sun will keep the color as dark as possible.
