A multi-trunked deciduous shrub, Syringa oblata features panicles of fragrant pinkish lilac in the spring earlier than most lilacs. Flowers give way to dehiscent capsules. Blossoms appear before the ovate leaves which, emerge with a bronze tint in the spring, mature to blue-green, and turn purple-red in the fall.
