Peking Lilac
(Syringa pekinensis ‘Morton’, China Snow™)
“This is a tree-form lilac with creamy white flowers in June, and excellent winter interest from its cinnamon-colored peeling and exfoliating bark,” said Jim Ault, Ph.D., director of ornamental plant research. “It’s especially notable where the tree can be backlit in the winter sun.”
