Syringa persica ‘Alba’ – White Persian Lilac
Syringa persica ‘Alba’, commonly known as the White Persian Lilac, is a compact, deciduous shrub prized for its elegant, fragrant white flowers and finely textured foliage. Smaller and more delicate in appearance than the common lilac, it’s ideal for smaller gardens, borders, and informal hedging.
Flowering in late spring to early summer, ‘Alba’ produces arching sprays of pure white blooms that are highly scented and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its narrow, grey-green leaves provide a soft, airy backdrop, giving the plant a light, refined presence in the landscape.
Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Syringa persica ‘Alba’ prefers a sheltered position and benefits from light pruning after flowering to maintain shape and encourage stronger blooming.
Key Features:
Height & Spread: 1.5 – 2 m
Flowers: Late spring to early summer
Position: Full sun
Soil: Moist but well-drained
Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering
A charming choice for fragrance, elegance, and a touch of cottage-garden romance.
