Syringa vulgaris Madame Lemoine

Madame Lemoine Lilac

Madame Lemoine Lilac has double white flowers that open from pale yellowish buds. Their strong fragrance makes the spring display particularly noticeable.

The deciduous shrub carries green, heart-shaped leaves. Its white blooms work well as a focal point or as cut stems brought indoors.

Grow in sun with fertile, well-drained soil that is neutral to alkaline. Leave adequate space for the branching structure.
