Description
Pale creamy-yellow flower panicles bring a fragrant late-spring display to Syringa vulgaris Primrose. Heart-shaped green leaves cover its upright, suckering framework and turn yellow in fall.
Plant it in full sun for the strongest flowering, using moist but well-drained neutral or alkaline soil. It works well as a flowering hedge, a border specimen, or a scented courtyard shrub. Remove faded panicles immediately after bloom without cutting developing buds.
