Microcuttings
Syringa x hyacinthiflora
(NA 62975; Pl 641814)
Zones 4-6
Another great release from our very own U.S. National Arboretum,
based on the excellent breeding work by the late great Dr. Don
Egolf during the 1970s. A cross between Syringa ‘Sweet Charity’
and Pocahontas, Declaration is most noted for its dramatically
striking dark reddish-purple very fragrant blooms, outstanding
deep burgundy fall color, and open upright growth habit.
Performs best in cooler lilac-growing regions.
