Notes

'Bailbelle' lilac (Syringa 'Bailbelle') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average moisture. Fragrant pale pink flowers open in late spring and early summer. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea, Honey Gold peony, and Ice Follies daffodil.
