Syringa vulgaris ‘Frederick Law Olmsted’

blossom · March 4, 2019 ·

Syringa vulgaris ‘Frederick Law Olmsted’

A Richard Fennichia introduction, 1996.
{‘Rochester’ × ‘Rochester’}
Single white.

A Fennichia hybrid with ‘Rochester’ parentage. It has the ability to produce a well-rounded plant when given enough space. The mature plant (20 years old) is small to medium size, 8’ – 9’ high and 7’ – 8’ wide.

The exceptional feature of ‘Frederick Law Olmsted’ is that it annually produces clusters of pure white flowers that are evenly distributed over the whole plant, giving it a “snowball effect,” to use the hybridizer’s own words. It displays good green foliage throughout the summer. ‘Frederick Law Olmsted’ has one drawback: the florets do not display the prominent radial doubling of other ‘Rochester’ hybrids.
