If you love Lilacs (and who doesn't?) you'll want to add Royalty Lilac (Syringa x josiflexa 'Royalty') to your landscape. This variety produces a great multitude of very large, fragrant blooms. It blooms later into the summer than other Lilac varieties. Add it to your collection and enjoy more of that amazing fragrance longer! Royalty Lilac is robust and extremely hardy, including resistance to disease and deer.

The flower buds are decidedly darker than the light lavender blooms, which creates an enchanting two-toned effect. The thick, dark green leaves create a superior backdrop for the lighter lavender color of the flowers. Be sure to cut some of the long panicles of flowers to bring inside. The flowers take well to being in a vase and will give several days of enjoyment.

Royalty Lilac is a stand-out among Lilacs and a must-have for your yard this summer. Developed in Ottawa, Canada, by Isabella Preston in the 1920s, Royalty Lilac is a particularly interesting variety as it has all of the outstanding features of Lilac shrubs, but with some added advantages!
