Description & Overview
Violet Uprising™ Lilac is a new introduction (2020) selected for its upright habit and heavy flowering habit.

The intoxicatingly fragrant violet flowers are lighter in color than Miss Kim Lilac and larger, averaging 12 inches long and 6 inches across. Selected by Michael Yanny, this plant is sure to be a hit.
