A new and distinct highly ornamental cultivar of Syringa reticulata Japanese
Tree Lilac is provided. The Lilac plant has an upright compact growth habit. The
foliage possesses variegation that initially is green with an irregular darker
green center wherein the margins turn to a stable bright yellow-gold coloration
upon maturity. The blossoms are white and are displayed during late spring to early
summer. Good winter hardiness is made possible and the plant has been found to
be free of insect and disease problems. The plant is particularly well-suited for
providing distinctive ornamentation in the landscape.
