Old Glory Lilac
Syringa vulgaris ‘Old Glory’
Old Glory Lilac is an outstanding cultivar selected for its vibrant, true blue-lavender flower color and excellent form. It produces large, well-formed panicles of fragrant, single flowers in a rich lavender-blue hue. Like other common lilacs, it offers the classic upright, spreading habit and intoxicating spring fragrance. It is a robust and showy choice for gardeners in colder climates seeking a lilac with a particularly clear and striking flower color.
