Full Sun - Partial Sun

‘Krasavitsa Moskvy’ (Beauty of Moscow) is a rare and elegant Russian lilac introduced by Leonid Kolesnikov in 1943, celebrated for its intensely fragrant, fully double blooms that open blush pink and mature to soft white with a delicate pink tint. This upright lilac grows 6-8 ft tall and 4-6 ft wide, making it ideal for borders, screens, or a striking spring focal point. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, benefits from good air circulation, and should be pruned after flowering. Cold hardy to zone 3 and deer resistant, it’s also an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner—perfect for collectors and cottage gardens alike.
