* Creamy-white flowers in clusters to 6", of bushy, spreading, rounded habit, usually multistemmed, Dirr says it resembles a smaller, more delicate S. reticulata, appealing bark, a rich brown, sometimes exfoliating, native to northern China .

* Syringa reticulata subsp. pekinensis (formerly known as Syringa pekinensis) is a small tree or large shrub that is native to wooded areas on slopes, valleys and ravines in northern China. It is commonly called Peking lilac or Chinese tree lilac. It typically grows in an open, multi-stemmed form to 15-20’ tall and to 15' wide with arching branches and ovate dark green leaves (to 2-4" long). Showy, fragrant, yellowish-white flowers bloom in panicles (to 6” long) in mid-spring (May in the St. Louis area). Flowers give way to loose clusters of brown capsules that persist into winter.

Reticulata means netted-veined in reference to the leaf veins. more...
