Celebrate Canadian horticultural heritage with the Miss Canada Lilac. Widely considered the brightest pink of all late-blooming lilacs, this robust and extremely hardy shrub was developed right here in Canada to thrive in our challenging climate while delivering a spectacular summer show.
Key Features & Benefits
Vibrant Rosy-Pink Blooms: Large, upright panicles of sweetly scented, tubular flowers emerge from reddish buds in early summer. This variety offers the truest, most brilliant pink colour available in the lilac family.
Extends the Lilac Season: As a Preston hybrid, Miss Canada typically blooms 2 to 3 weeks later than common lilacs, ensuring your garden stays fragrant and colourful well into the early summer.
Non-Suckering Habit: Unlike many older lilac varieties, Miss Canada does not produce messy suckers from the base, resulting in a cleaner, more manageable, and tidier plant for your landscape.
Exceptional Hardiness: Engineered for resilience, this shrub is reliably hardy down to Zone 2, making it a dependable choice for even the coldest Canadian regions.
Lush, Textured Foliage: Features attractive, crinkly dark green leaves that remain healthy throughout the summer before transitioning to a warm yellow hue in the autumn.
Pollinator Magnet: The fragrant, nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, while the plant itself is noted for its excellent deer and rabbit resistance.
