ELILAC SPECIES 


S. REFLEXA (Nodding Lilac) Here is still another remarkable lilac that we 
owe to KE. H. Wilson, who found it growing in the mountains of western 
Hupeh, Central China, in 1901. Best known for its graceful, wisteria-like, 
drooping flower panicles and the rich clear pink of its blossoms, contrasting 
with brilliant coral-red buds. Blooms very late. Leaves large, long, deep green; 
growth habit sturdy, upright. Extremely hardy. Awarded a medal by the Royal 
Horticultural Society. A most striking and unusual species that will add dis- 
tinction to any lilac collection.
