Common Lilac 'Beauty of Moscow'

FamilyOleaceae

Syringa vulgaris 'Beauté de Moscou' is an exceptional common lilac, renowned for its clusters of double, pearly white flowers tinged with pearly pink, and its powerful, sweet fragrance. Its soft pink flower buds open into pale double blooms, creating a subtle and refined contrast. It forms an upright, well-branched shrub, ideal as a specimen plant, in a flowering hedge, or for structuring large beds. Very hardy and undemanding, it tolerates harsh winters, spring pruning after flowering, and slightly alkaline soils. 'Beauté de Moscou' captivates with its rare floral elegance, stable vertical habit, and ornamental value both in the garden and as a cut flower.
