A Father Fiala introduction. Among the deepest and darkest of the purples. Profuse bloomer with large clusters of single, large flowers produced on an upright plant of up to 8 feet in height.
The foliage is similar to ‘Miss Kim’ and is a nice fresh green. The mature size makes this plant perfect for foundation plantings, but it can also be used en masse, or as an informal hedge where you don’t need a lot of height. At maturity, it is about half the size of ‘Miss Kim’. Rock solid hardy, it was bred on the northern plains of North America and will thrive even in zone 2. Developed by our friends at Jeffries Nursery in Canada.
A cross done by F. L. Skinner, Dropmore, Manitoba. The cultivar is very hardy and blooms before French hybrid lilacs. Single white blossom. Large shrub for background use. Profuse bloomer.
