Syringa meyeri ‘Flowerfesta White’, commonly known as ‘Flowerfesta White’ dwarf lilac, is a compact deciduous shrub with a rounded, dense habit, ideal for small gardens, sunny borders, and container planting. It is distinguished by its abundant spring blooms, followed by a slight rebloom in summer, extending its ornamental appeal. Its well-filled panicles bear pure white to creamy white flowers, delicately scented with the sweet fragrance typical of lilacs. Its dark green foliage, healthy and disease-resistant, forms a neat mass throughout the season. Syringa meyeri ‘Flowerfesta White’ prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil to ensure generous and constant flowering, while offering excellent hardiness in cold climates.
