Shogun™ Japanese Tree Lilac (Syringa reticulata ‘Shogun™’)

Shogun™ Japanese Tree Lilac (Syringa reticulata ‘Shogun™’) is a compact ornamental flowering tree prized for its creamy-white fragrant blooms and strong upright form. Blooming in early summer, this Japanese tree lilac provides season-extending fragrance and visual interest after spring flowering trees have finished.

The large clusters of fragrant flowers attract pollinators while contrasting beautifully against the rich green foliage. Compared to larger Japanese tree lilacs, Shogun™ maintains a more compact size, making it ideal for smaller residential landscapes, urban gardens, and boulevard planting.

In Alberta, Shogun™ performs exceptionally well in full sun and tolerates Prairie winters, urban conditions, and a variety of soil types. Its strong branching structure and cold hardiness make it a reliable ornamental tree for Canadian landscapes.
