Lilac 'Krasavitsa Moskvy'

Syringa vulgaris 'Krasavitsa Moskvy'

Krasavitsa Moskvy, also known as Beauty of Moscow, is a variety of Lilac that produces panicles of fragrant, double white flowers that have a slight pink blush to them. Krasavitsa Moskvy was introduced in 1943 and is considered to be resistant to powdery mildew. 

Lilacs grow best in full sun with moist, rich, alkaline soil with good drainage. Common Lilacs are prone to powdery mildew. Growing them in full sun, pruning them regularly to encourage airflow, and watering during drought can help reduce the chances of them developing the fungus.

Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through September, depending on suppliers availability.

Care

Full sun outdoors (6-8+ hours of direct sun)

Water every 2-4 days for the first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).

Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.

Remove blooms once they are finished, this prompts the Lilac to focus energy on developing flower buds for next year.

Lilacs should be pruned regularly as they become large, dense and unruly if left to their own devices. The older branches tend to produces less flowers as they age, so removing these every few years can help promote new, fresh growth and lots of flowers.

Every 3-5 years, remove 1/4 of the oldest, largest stems as close to the ground as possible. Prioritize branches that are rubbing against each other, as these will eventually create wounds in the bark. Afterwards, thin the canopy of any dead, damaged, diseased branches, or any that are crossing or rubbing, or growing towards the center of the plant. This helps create airflow and allows more light into the center of the shrub.
