Prolific single heavily fragrant lovely showy white blooms. One of Roger Luce’s favorites. Roger was one of Maine’s great 20th-c. plant people. His lilac collection near Bangor was unsurpassed for its time. John had the opportunity to observe this lilac in bloom during a visit with Roger many years ago. Of the lilac, Roger simply commented, “Lovely white.” Indeed it is. Large shrub blooms about 2 weeks before most other lilacs. Extremely hardy. Z2/3. (1–3')
