The Donald Wyman Preston Lilac is a multi-stemmed, vigorous, upright lilac. This late-blooming lilac produces upright panicles of lightly fragrant pinkish-purple flowers in late spring. It has dark green leaves that turn buttery yellow in the fall. The Donald Wyman Preston Lilac should be grown in alkaline-neutral soil, and it is drought-tolerant. It performs best in full sun, and pruning should only be done immediately after flowering. This lilac makes a spectacular background for a border, informal hedge, mass planting, or as a focal point in any garden.
