Syringa vulgaris 'Virtual Violet'

Syringa vulgaris ‘Virtual Violet’ – Common Lilac ('Bailbridget')

‘Virtual Violet’ offers an upright, dense habit with striking raspberry-purple buds that open to fragrant violet flowers. Shiny violet new leaves and deep purple stems add seasonal interest, while leaf petioles maintain their violet hue well into summer. Its upright form makes it perfect for hedges in smaller spaces or as a foundation planting, and it’s remarkably mildew-resistant.
