Description
Fragrant lilac-pink flower panicles cover Syringa meyeri Palibin in late spring and early summer. Its compact, rounded form suits sunny flowering borders, foundation plantings, and low hedges.
Grow it in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil with neutral or alkaline pH. Full sun supports the best flowering, and the shrub appreciates mulch when planted in sun.
Remove spent flower clusters and complete any shaping immediately after flowering. The deciduous leaves stay dark green through summer.
