Description
Lilac Ivory Silk Tree is a stunning ornamental tree that delivers a breathtaking display of large, creamy-white flower clusters in early summer. Unlike traditional lilacs that bloom in spring, this tree extends the season with its magnificent, upright panicles of fragrant blossoms, standing out against its polished, deep green foliage. The show doesn’t stop in summer—its attractive bark adds winter interest, offering a refined, textural element to the landscape. With its tidy, rounded form and manageable size, this tree is perfect for lining streets, accenting patios, or serving as a striking focal point in the landscape.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing the soil to stay evenly moist but well-drained
- Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune in late summer after flowering to maintain shape and encourage strong growth
With its grand floral display, refreshing fragrance, and structured form, Lilac Ivory Silk Tree is an elegant choice for bringing late-season beauty and architectural interest to the landscape.
