Preston Lilac 'Miss Canada'
FamilyOleaceae
Syringa prestoniae ‘Miss Canada’, commonly known as Preston lilac ‘Miss Canada’, is a deciduous shrub with an upright, dense habit, renowned for its abundant flowering and excellent hardiness. Blooming later than common lilacs, it flowers in early summer, extending the season with long panicles adorned with bright pink to raspberry pink tubular flowers. Its fragrance is light but pleasant, effectively attracting pollinators. Its dark green foliage, healthy and disease-resistant, forms a compact mass ideal for informal hedges, privacy screens, or naturalized borders. Highly adapted to cold climates, Syringa prestoniae ‘Miss Canada’ prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil to ensure generous and consistent flowering year after year.
