Syringa vulgaris 'New Age White', known as New Age White lilac, is a modern variety of common lilac prized for its abundant blooms and high disease resistance.

In spring, it produces numerous panicles of pure white single flowers that exude a classic and very pleasant lilac fragrance. Its bright blossoms attract pollinators and brighten up spring flowerbeds.
