Notes: Although the species tend to flower biennially, Snowdance flowers well annually and begins flowering at an earlier age than the species. It has exceptionally heavy bloom with large, fragrant, creamy white flower clusters in June. This variety produces few untidy brown seedheads. Lustrous dark green foliage is slightly larger and darker than the species. This tree grows as wide as it is tall with attractive, shelved branching. A pest-and-disease-free lilac tree.
