Syringa 'Wedgewood Blue', Lilac 'Wedgewood Blue', French Lilac 'Wedgewood Blue'
Compact, Syringa vulgaris ‘Wedgwood Blue’ is an upright deciduous shrub with very showy racemes of sweetly fragrant, lavender-blue, single flowers in late spring. Opening from lilac-pink buds, the dense, arching panicles cover the shrub in a ravishing bicolor display. The open branches are clothed in light green, heart-shaped leaves that remain attractive in summer. Beautiful in bloom, this French lilac enjoys excellent mildew resistance. To extend the season of interest of your lilac, grow clematis with different bloom times through its branches to add color and glamour to the shrub. Perfect for sunny mixed borders and small gardens.
