Elevate your landscape with the stunning Syringa reticulata, commonly known as Japanese Tree Lilac. This remarkable small tree or large shrub features an enchanting oval to rounded crown, reaching heights of 20 to 30 feet with a widespread of 15 to 20 feet. Perfect for USDA Zones 3 to 7, it flourishes in cool summer climates, displaying its full ornamental potential as a breathtaking hedge, street tree, or flowering tree. In early summer, be mesmerized by its showy, fragrant blooms of creamy white flowers, forming majestic upright panicles up to 12 inches long. As the blossoms fade, they transform into loose clusters of tan capsules that linger through winter, maintaining interest within your garden.

The dark green, sharply-tipped leaves, paired with attractively exfoliating reddish-brown bark, offer unparalleled visual appeal. Thriving in full sun with organically rich, well-drained soil, this low-maintenance beauty adapts well to urban environments. Notably resistant to pests like powdery mildew and lilac borers, it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, adding life to your garden. Ideal for specimen plantings, this lilac variant thrives best with moderate pruning immediately after flowering, ensuring an annual spectacle of nature’s artistry. Enhance your outdoor space with the unmatched elegance of Japanese Tree Lilac.
