persica 7’ The Persian Lilac - a captivating and completely charming large shrub or small tree with flowing, arching habit and loose panicles of silvery mauve flowers. The scent is antirely captivating during June. Although it makes a good free standing shrub of elegant, loose habit it is possibly even nicer trained against a wall or trellis. Said to have been cultivated in England as long ago as 1640 but very little seen in gardens now.

species with highly scented pale purple flowers in generous cascading
panicles.

Lilac which is itself highly elegant and beautiful, made even
more valuable for its late flowering which goes on well into July, long
after other Lilacs have finished. Loose, pyramidal panicles of creamy
white well scented flowers provide a highly captivating display.
Rapidly gaining popularity, a tree we introduced to the UK gardening
public first.
