These lilacs are cross hybrids of syringa oblata and syringa vulgaris.
They flower 7-10 days prior to Syringa vulgaris. They also flower more
constant on a yearly basis and have accentuated fragrances. In the fall
their leaves take on bronzy, red color.
They set buds much easier than vulgaris thus are excellent for
California , Northern Florida and the Carolina’s and northern states also.

It is a early bloomer with greenish buds opening to lovely single pure
white blooms. It was probably named for Edith Peterson who was an orphelin

A very rare lilac. This is the only chinensis that is double to
date and has beautiful reddish lavender flowers. It was thought lost until
Colin Chapman identified in Gorb’s Russian notes the lilac called Polumakhrovaya.
A Danish nursery man named Ole Heide went to Russian to see if it existed
and there it was. A Lemoine lilac thought lost.
