Syringa meyeri ‘Flowerfesta Pink’, commonly known as ‘Flowerfesta Pink’ dwarf lilac, is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, ideal for small gardens, sunny beds, or container growing. This selection is distinguished by its abundant bloom in spring, followed by a lighter rebloom in summer, offering a prolonged floral presence. Its well-filled panicles bear light pink to candy-pink flowers, delicately scented with a sweet fragrance typical of lilacs. Its dark green foliage, healthy and disease-resistant, forms a neat mass throughout the season. Syringa meyeri ‘Flowerfesta Pink’ prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil to produce generous and consistent flowering, while maintaining excellent hardiness in cold climates.
