Add classic spring fragrance to your landscape with Syringa prestoniae 'Pinktini™' (Lilac 'Pinktini™'), a compact Preston lilac selected for abundant, showy pink flower clusters and a neat habit that fits smaller spaces. You will enjoy its late-spring bloom, fresh scent, and clean green foliage through the growing season.

Plant in full sun for the best flowering, though it will also perform in part shade. Choose a site with well-drained soil and good air circulation. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, resilient root system; after that, provide supplemental water during extended dry spells, especially while buds are forming for next year's bloom.

For best results, prune soon after flowering if you need to shape the plant or remove spent flower clusters. Avoid heavy pruning in late summer, fall, or winter, since lilacs set flower buds on old wood and late pruning can reduce the next spring display. A light top-dressing of compost in spring and a 2-3 inch mulch layer (kept off the stems) helps conserve moisture and moderate soil temperatures.

At maturity, expect roughly 48-60 inches in height and about 36-48 inches in spread. This lilac works well as a specimen near patios, in mixed shrub borders, or grouped for a fragrant spring screen. Pair it with early bulbs and other spring bloomers for a long season of color.
