Syringa vulgaris ‘Sesquicentennial’

blossom · March 4, 2019 ·

Syringa vulgaris ‘Sesquicentennial’

A Richard Fenicchia selection.
{‘Rochester’ × ‘Glory’}. Single violet (class II).

This Fenicchia hybrid displays large one-inch violet-lilac florets. Generally a very strong-growing shrub, suckering slightly. Many flower panicles are produced from lateral buds along the stem, making a tremendous display. This habit tends to make the flower-heavy stems bend under their own weight.

‘Sesquicentennial’ occasionally displays ‘Rochester’ multipetalling. Flowers with heavy fragrance. This lilac was named for the 150th anniversary of Monroe County, New York, the governing agency of Highland Park.

A Richard Fenicchia selection 1972; registered in 1988.
