Pekin Lilac or China Snow (Syringa pekinensis) Tree Seeds - Exotic Frost Hardy

The Pekin Lilac is a small tree or large multi-stemmed shrub, growing just 4.5 to 6 meters tall and fits nicely into a typical home landscape. It is a related species to the Japanese Tree Lilac and blooms in late spring to early summer with fragrant creamy white flowers on 7 to 15 cm long panicles. Its smooth, dark-green leaves and shiny, coppery, exfoliating bark adds to the ornamental qualities of this tree. Hardy to -39°C. Lilacs are among the most popular cultivated shrubs in the temperate world. Aside from roses, there is no flower as beautiful and aromatic. There is nothing better than the sweet scent of a freshly picked bouquet of lilacs in early spring. Lilacs are seldom bothered by pests, easy to grow and are renowned for their showy fragrant flowers produced profusely in spring to early summer. All make great specimen plants. Even when the flowers drop, the foliage continues to make the lilac an attractive shrub/tree for the remainder of the growing season.
