Spirea x vanhouttei 'Renaissance'
'Renaissance' Spirea
Renaissance is a selection of Vanhoutte Spirea but with more disease resistance than traditional bridalwreath
spireas. It has cool blue-green foliage with a fall color that's orange-red. It is more of a vase-shaped plant. White flower clusters cover the plant in late May and blooms on the prior year's
wood. Very low maintenance and easy to grow.

Syringa 'Bloomerang® Dark Purple'
'Bloomerang Dark Purple' Lilac
These Lilacs bloom two times and that’s a wonderful thing! They bloom in spring like traditional lilacs, then
re-bloom mid summer through fall. 'Dark Purple' is bigger than original Blooming Purple Lilac, and has larger, more rounded inflorescences. This is a strong grower and will add beauty and
fragrance to gardens from spring to fall.

Blooms:
Early Summer - Late Fall
Height: 4-6'
Spacing: 4-6'

Syringa patula 'Dream Cloud'
'Dream Cloud' Manchurian Lilac
A different color than the species, in early summer you’ll find Dream Cloud™ covered in fluffy panicles of pink
flowers – so much so that there’s hardly a trace of the leaves to be seen. A spectacular sight to see, these blooms measure 12” long x 9” wide! As summer wanes, cooler nights produce a rich,
purple, fall color – yet another nuance that adds one more season of interest. This plant is truly a winner: more resistant to powdery mildew and root rot diseases than other lilacs on the
market, Dream Cloud™ should be an absolute joy to grow! Prune immediately after flowering has finished giving time for next year’s buds to set.
Exposure: Full Sun
Blooms:
Late Spring - Early Summer

Syringa 'Virtual Violet'
'Virtual Violet' Lilac
With shiny violet new leaves, deep purple stems, raspberry purple buds and fragrant violet flowers, 'Virtual
Violet' is aptly named. The habit is upright instead of rounded and compact. The dense habit makes it great choice for a hedge in smaller spaces as well as a welcome addition to foundation
plantings. Remarkably mildew free.
