Grow me instead of Tamarisk
Preston lilac is a deciduous shrub popular for its extremely fragrant flowers. Blooming in the spring, Preston lilacs are available in several different flower colors ranging from pink, white, purple to red. Growing to 3.5 m tall, this is a very tough, low-maintenance shrub. As a bonus, pollinators love it!
