Comments: I purchased this half price from Lowe's at the end of the season and planted it in the Shrub Border on the North Lawn during the fall of 2001.

It produced a nice crop of fragrant blooms the first spring and was much later flowering than my other lilacs, extending the season to after Mother's Day. The blooms on my other lilacs this year seemed to whither right away, but the daintier flowers on this lilac lasted for weeks.
