Syringa prestoniae 'Nocturne'
Syringa prestoniae ‘Nocturne’, commonly known as Preston lilac ‘Nocturne’, is a deciduous shrub with an upright, bushy habit, known for its late flowering and sustained deep purple hue. It extends the lilac season after common varieties, offering long, dense panicles of deep purple tubular flowers in early summer. Its fragrance is lighter than that of common lilac, but remains pleasant and attracts pollinators. Its healthy, abundant, dark green foliage forms a dense mass ideal for informal hedges, screens, or naturalized beds. Very hardy and disease-resistant, Syringa prestoniae ‘Nocturne’ prefers a sunny exposure and well-drained soil to ensure generous flowering year after year.
