One of the first lilacs bred to perform in Southern gardens. Snowy Beach Party requires fewer chill hours than traditional lilacs, which usually need an extended snap of cold to flower the following spring. In mid to late spring, this truly beautiful shrub will be covered with incredibly fragrant white panicles that can be smelled from 10' away or more! Ideal as a specimen plant or hedge, it's tolerant of many soil types, needing only well-drained soil to thrive. And its low chill factor doesn't limit where you can plant this Southern belle. Excellent mildew resistance and a cold-hardy nature makes Snowy Beach Party Lilac well suited for most northern zones as well. Syringa vulgaris 'Snowy'
