Patio Lilac Tree
Syringa 'Flowerfesta® Pink'
- The scent of lilac on a hot summer's day is difficult to match. This free-flowering variety has been trained in a lollipop-like, patio tree shape, meaning it can easily be grown on terraces and balconies.
- One of the main features of this cultivar is its double-flowering nature; it first blooms in late spring/early summer, while an additional flush of flowers appears at the start of autumn.
- You can also plant your lilac(s) in loamy borders, so that you can enjoy the wonderful fragrance as you wander down the garden path.
- Fully hardy, with an RHS rating of H6, 'Flowerfesta® Pink' is as tough as it is beautiful and will easily withstand whatever the British winter can throw at it.
- A brilliant option for cut flowers, use your lilac blooms as the basis for a lovely vase bouquet

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
