A rare lilac which will delight you with its great trusses of tiny violet-red flowers, each petal of which is edged in white, creating a beautiful bicolour effect. Flowers May-June. Height 5m. Supplied in a 3 litre pot. These hardy deciduous shrubs are ideal for planting as a single specimen in the midst of a lawn, or at the back of a sunny border, they will delight you with their dense panicles of richly-scented flowers, whilst their dark green, heart-shaped leaves form the perfect backdrop to other flowers later in the summer.
