of lilacs, and major developments in the history of lilac breeding.
The Lilac Dell exhibits over 800 species and cultivars of common lilacs, French hybrids, Preston hybrids (originated in Canada by Isabella Preston), early-bloomers and wild species. Depending on weather, peak bloom in late May is a breathtaking spectacle of scent and colour. Visit during the Lilac Festival and enjoy special tours, demonstrations and live music. |
