Ivory Silk Lilac Tree

‘Ivory Silk’ has showy plumes of creamy-white flowers that fill the air with their lovely fragrance. It’s lush green foliage looks great all summer, while the fall and winter garden benefit from its attractive, dark red bark for added interest. This variety blooms later than others and more heavily, creating quite the eye-catching show when in bloom! Prune within two weeks after flowering.
