Family Oleaceae

Syringa vulgaris 'Primrose', known as the Primrose lilac, is a remarkable and rare variety of common lilac, appreciated for the unique color of its flowers. This vigorous shrub develops a rounded, dense habit composed of upright branches adorned with medium green, heart-shaped leaves. In spring, it produces large panicles of very pale cream-yellow flowers, an unusual color for lilacs, which release the classic rich and sweet lilac fragrance. The abundant bloom brightens up flower beds and attracts numerous pollinators. Very hardy and easy to grow, Syringa vulgaris 'Primrose' is ideal for flowering hedges, fragrant gardens, or as a featured shrub in spring landscape designs.
