Syringa 'George Eastman' - Late-flowering Deep Pink Lilac
Syringa pubescens ssp. julianae ‘George Eastman’ - Late-flowering Deep Pink Lilac
- deciduous shrub with early summer blooms
- fragrant clusters of single cerise pink blooms in late spring to early summer
- blooms open from wine colored buds
- these are among the reddest flowers of the species!
- small ovalish leaves on a compact form
- best in full sun
- grows 4-6' tall and 4-6' wide
- flowers on old wood, so only prune after flowering
- grows in zones 2-8
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships in cool spring, fall, or winter seasons; not during summer
Recommended companions:
- Spring bulbs (such as Daffodil & Hyacinth) offer color before leaves emerge
- Clematis vine to climb up through the branches and offer a second round of showy blooms in late spring and/or summer
- Hosta perennials to fill the shady side underneath lilac branches, suppressing weeds with interesting leaf styles and summer flowers; low-lying lilac branches may help protect these appealing perennials from critter attack
- Hardy Chrysanthemum perennials to fill the sunny side underneath the lilac branches, suppressing weeds and offering additional blooms in fall in a spot somewhat protected from rains (to allow their flowers to look nice longer)
