Red Pixie Lilac

Syringa 'Red Pixie'

Red Pixie Lilac is a reblooming, dwarf deciduous shrub with an upright rounded habit and green foliage that turns bright yellow in fall.  A profusion of sweetly fragrant panicles sporting deep red-pink buds that open to pale pink starry flowers begin in late spring into summer and bloom again in late summer into fall.  Best flowering with full sun and rich, moist well-drained neutral soils.  

MAINTENANCE NEEDS:  Low Maintenance.  No serious pests or diseases.  Leaf-roll necrosis may occur.  Late spring frost may damage flower buds and young leaves.  Prune as needed immediately after spring flowering.  Prompt deadheading before seed setting will increase next year's bloom. 

LANDSCAPE USES:  Accents or Group Plantings, Borders, Woodland Gardens, Groundcover, Foundational Plantings, Hedges, and Containers.

COMPANION PLANTS:  Giant Hyssop, New Jersey Tea, Joe-Pye Weed
