Peking Lilac
Rosy Lights Rhododendron (Azalea)

Peking Lilac is a small, deciduous shrub. This robust species is not as fragrant as Common Lilac, but it makes up for it with its large clusters of beautiful white flowers in the spring.

Perfect for any yard, Peking Lilac does not sucker, seldom suffers from disease, and requires little pruning.

Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Peking Lilac seeds at SeedTime.ca.

Rosy Lights Rhododendron is the next flowering, deciduous shrub you need in your garden. It is incredibly cold hardy and produces fragrant, bright pink blooms in late spring. Pruning is recommended after the flowers are finished to control the size and shape of this shrub.

Try Rosy Lights Rhododendron when planning your next hedge/screen, or plant it on its own as a striking accent plant. Part of the Northern Lights Series.
