A Bailey Nurseries introduction. Developed by Neal Holland of Sheyenne Gardens in North Dakota, this compact lilac is the result of crosses made between Syringa meyeri 'Palibin' and Syringa microphylla 'Superba'. It exhibits a growth habit and bloom time similar to Dwarf Korean, but with a pleasing, spicy fragrance and incredible wine-red flower buds that open to pink. (CPBR#1204)
