white lilac

Fragrant spring flowers

White lilac is a variety of lilac bearing white rather than purple or lavender flowers.

The shrub is otherwise identical to common lilac—same fragrance, same spring blooming, same heart-shaped leaves.

White lilac appears in bridal bouquets and memorial arrangements, where its pale color suits the occasion: The garden was planted with white lilac and dogwood.
