Preston Lilac 'Isabella'
FamilyOleaceae
The Syringa prestoniae ‘Isabella’, known as Preston Isabella Lilac, is a hardy shrub highly valued for its late flowering and excellent cold resistance. This variety develops an upright to rounded habit with vigorous branches adorned with oval dark green leaves. Its flowering generally appears a little later than that of common lilacs, which helps extend the lilac season in the garden. In early summer, it produces long panicles of fragrant lilac-pink flowers that attract pollinators and add a colorful touch to flowerbeds. Very hardy and disease-resistant, Syringa prestoniae ‘Isabella’ is ideal for flowering hedges, naturalistic gardens, or landscaping in cold regions.
