ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Meadowsweet gets its name from its sweet fragrance from the creamy white flowers. It is a large upright herbaceous perennial shrub. They bloom in early summer, and with the right conditions may remain throughout the season.
Take care of where you’re planting Meadowsweet as it is known to spread.
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.
