 HYACINTHIFLORA
.
.
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.
