SYRINGA VUL PRES GREVY

SYRINGA VUL PRES GREVY
Grower Notes:

Syringa vulgaris 'President Grevy' is commonly referred to as President Grevy Lilac or President Grevy French Hybrid Lilac. This old favorite from 1886 still stands out for its intense spring blooms even after all these years! Buds begin dark blue opening to a lilac-blue, providing a stellar two-tone effect. Flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators, and deer pretty much leave President Grevy alone. The panicles are highly fragrant and its light green, heart-shaped leaves remain attractive through summer. When pruning, prune immediately after flowering as it will increase bloom production for the following year.

President Grevy French Hybrid Lilac thrives in full sun in rich, fertile, humus-rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal for mixed borders, foundations or specimen planting.
