SYRINGA 'Purple Haze' |
||||
|
Hybridized/Introduced By: Jack Alexander 2005 Parentage: (protolacinata X oblata var. dilatata) Description: You must experience this! Jack knows lilacs, having spent many years at the Arnold Arboretum as Propagator and resident lilac expert. The renowned Arnold has one of the country's largest collections. This is only his second introduction, so you know he's picky. It is destined to become a classic hit. Talk about flower power, while the individual flowers are not all that large, the plant makes up for this by indulging in quantity. When in bloom, the plant is covered in a purple haze as in a watercolor wash. The fragrant flowers are sterile, so there are no ugly seedpods to deadhead. The plant grows as a big multistemmed shrub with a rounded habit, and no powdery mildew has been seen on it at the Arnold. The cross was made in 1991 and first bloomed around 1997. Officially introduced in 2005 when the Arnold hosted the International Lilac Society's annual meeting. | ||||
