Preston Lilac 'Minuet'
FamilyOleaceae
Syringa prestoniae ‘Minuet’ is a compact Preston lilac known for its abundant late blooming and excellent hardiness. This deciduous shrub develops a dense, rounded habit, slightly wider than tall, ideal for small gardens, borders, and low flowering hedges. Its bloom occurs after that of common lilacs, extending the spring season with large panicles of delicately scented lavender-pink flowers. Its dark green, elongated, and healthy foliage offers good disease resistance and maintains a beautiful summer density. Very hardy and reliable in cold climates, Syringa prestoniae ‘Minuet’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to ensure generous flowering. It is an excellent choice for adding color and fragrance to northern landscapes.
