Syringa × prestoniae 'Donald Wyman'
Syringa prestoniae ‘Donald Wyman’ is a vigorous Preston lilac known for its abundant late blooming and remarkable hardiness. This deciduous shrub develops an upright, structured habit, significantly taller than it is wide, making it ideal for flowering hedges, seasonal screens, and background mass plantings. Its blooms appear after those of common lilacs, extending the spring season with long panicles of delicately fragrant, deep pink flowers. Its dark green, elongated, disease-resistant foliage maintains a beautiful density throughout the summer. Very reliable in cold climates, Syringa prestoniae ‘Donald Wyman’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure generous flowering. It is an excellent choice for adding height, color, and fragrance to northern gardens.
