Syringa reticulata

Japanese Tree Lilac

Recommended for the large garden, a very attractive specimen with dark green foliage. The fragrant, white flower panicles give way to brown capsules persisting into the winter and the reddish-brown, peeling bark ages to gray.

  • »  White panicles of sweetly fragrant, single flowers
  • »  Blooms later than other lilacs
  • »  If flowers are not removed, seeds persist into the winter
  • »  Dark green leaves turn an insignificant yellow in the fall
  • »  Peeling bark attractive on younger branches
  • »  Graceful, tiered, upright habit
  • »  Bloom Time: Late spring
