Scentara Pura® Lilac (Syringa x hyacinthiflora 'SMNSHSO') offers garden centers and landscape professionals a compact, cold-hardy shrub that blends high fragrance performance with disease resistance. Its pure purple blooms appear in spring, accompanied by a strong, classic lilac scent—thanks to its hyacinthiflora genetics, known for producing the most fragrant lilacs on the market.¶With a mature size of 4–6 feet tall and wide, and requiring less winter chilling than typical lilacs, this variety is also a strong choice for southern and mid-range climates. The upright, full-bodied habit and clean green foliage add year-round value to retail benches and residential landscapes.
