Royalty is a compact Japanese tree lilac selection with abundant, upright clusters of lavender-purple flowers in early summer - blooming later than traditional spring lilacs. It has a tidy, upright habit and attractive dark green foliage that stays clean through the season. This is an excellent choice for small yards, entry plantings, and mixed borders where you want lilac fragrance and color after the main lilac season has passed.
