Great Wall® Peking Lilac

Bring structural elegance and late-season fragrance to your garden with the Great Wall® Peking Lilac (Syringa reticulata subsp. pekinensis 'Peking Gold'). This stunning ornamental tree is celebrated for its upright, oval habit and its ability to bloom later than most common lilacs, extending your garden's floral season with large, airy clusters of creamy-yellow, honey-scented flowers in early summer. Beyond its beautiful blooms, the Great Wall® variety stands out with its incredible ornamental bark—a shimmering, coppery-bronze that peels in thin, papery curls, providing a dramatic winter silhouette similar to a Birch or Cherry tree.

Its dark green, pest-resistant foliage remains crisp all summer before turning a soft yellow in the fall. Highly urban-tolerant and resistant to powdery mildew, this durable lilac tree is an exceptional choice for parkways, small yards, or as a sophisticated focal point near a patio where its fragrance and unique bark can be fully appreciated.
