Description

This outstanding lilac delivers a soft, two-tone display that brings real charm to the garden in late spring to early summer. Pale pink buds open gradually to reveal fully double, snowy white flowers, so for a time both shades can be enjoyed together across the plant.

The blooms also carry a sweet floral fragrance that makes the garden feel even more inviting when the shrub is in full flower. Set against fresh green, heart-shaped foliage, the overall display feels classic, graceful and full of seasonal character.

The flowers of 'Beauty of Moscow' are rich in nectar too, making it a valuable choice for pollinators, while the RHS Award of Garden Merit gives extra reassurance that this is a tried and trusted garden performer.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Once the flowering has finished, trim back the shrub and remove any damaged branches.

Care Information

Grow Lilac plants in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun.
They can be grown in containers if you wish using a soil-based compost.
Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established.
Lilac can be pruned in winter or spring by removing any damaged, diseased or misplaced stems before lightly shaping to retain the attractive form and height. In mid-summer, faded flowers can be removed from the plants.
After pruning, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost to the base of the lilac.
Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
