FLOWERFESTA® is a follow-up series of repeat-flowering lilacs bred by Dutch breeder Andre Franciscus van Nijnatten, the same man behind the success of his preceding lilac series Bloomerang® from 2012. This time he stayed with syringa meyeri species and did not crossbreed it with another species or variety.
FLOWERFESTA® PINK is a compact, repeat-flowering lilac with pure pastel pink, very fragrant flowers. They come out for the first time in late May and bloom for about 3 weeks. After a short pause they re-bloom in early summer, and at the beginning of autumn a new flush of flowers appears for the third time. Individual flowers are narrowly tubular, composed in large, upright panicles, and release a pleasing, sweet perfume. Leaves are rather small (3-5 cm long), rounded to ovate, deciduous, and fresh green.
It forms a bushy shrub 1-1.5m tall and a wide. It can be placed among smaller plants as a small flowering specimen or used in green hedges among shrubs of different leaf shapes and colours. If you purchase a good looking plant you probably won't need to prune it ever, otherwise you can prune it just after flowering (in June) in order to encourage formation of a good framework. If you need to rejuvenate it, do so before flowering and fertilize it after.
Lilacs can be grown in many soil types. For best result use reasonably fertile, moist but well-drained soil, preferably neutral or alkaline. Full sun is essential for profuse flowering but part shade will be tolerated with slightly fewer flowers. Fully hardy to min. -34 °C (USDA zone 3), and suitable for outdoor pots.
