There is something special about the scent of Lilacs in the spring, and 'Beauty of Moscow' truly delivers. This cultivar traces its roots back to Second World War Russia in 1943, and is still regarded as one of the best forms of Common Lilac to date. Dense heads of rosy lilac buds open into highly fragrant double white flowers with a very faint pale pink blush. It is also known as "Krasavitsa Moskvy"
