Thumbelina Lilac | Syringa hybrid 'Bailina' (PP# 16,662)
Plant description
The Thumbelina® Lilac brings the wonderful brightness of pink to your spring blooms. In May it is smothered in bunches of blossoms, dark-pink in bud, opening to light pink, and gradually becoming almost white. The blooms have an exceptional fragrance, and nothing beats the smell of lilacs. After blooming its neat foliage always looks good.
The Thumbelina® Lilac is very cold-resistant, growing well in zone 3, and blooming profusely, as well as growing in all zones except for 8 and 9. It thrives in ordinary garden soils and conditions, and it should be planted in full sun for maximum blooming. No special care is needed, and dead-heading and pruning are unnecessary. If you do need to trim, do it only immediately after flowering has finished. Pests and diseases are usually no problem, and this plant is very easy to grow.
