KNOW THE PLANT YOU ARE ORDERING

Choose the plant and the cutting grade.

NC State Extension lists this plant’s flowers as suitable for cutting. That is a horticultural reference, not a guarantee of commercial stock or event performance. Ask a grower for the exact plant, an available cutting grade, and a sample before making it part of a client proposal.

The reference covers a hybrid. Keep that identity with the recipe. A similar common name or another member of the same genus can differ in flower form, color, and usable stem length.

Explore Syringa species in the botanical directory . The directory covers species; named garden cultivars are described in these florist guides.
