Syringa × prestoniae 'Royalty'
Syringa prestoniae ‘Royalty’ is a Preston lilac known for its abundant late bloom and high hardiness. This deciduous shrub develops an upright habit, slightly taller than it is wide, forming a dense structure ideal for flowering hedges and background plantings. Its flowering occurs after common lilacs, extending the season in the garden with large panicles of intensely fragrant lavender-pink flowers. Its dark green foliage, more elongated than that of common lilacs, maintains a beautiful appearance throughout the summer and is disease resistant. Very hardy and reliable, Syringa prestoniae ‘Royalty’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure for optimal flowering. It is an excellent choice for northern landscapes seeking late-season color and fragrance.
