Publisher: Timber Press; 2nd edition (August 15, 2008) First published in 1988 by award-winning American hybridizer Reverend John Fiala, this unique reference quickly became known worldwide as the lilac lovers' bible. The latest revision combines Fiala's passion for lilacs with the expertise of Canadian plantsman Freek Vrugtman, the international lilac registrar.

Five hundred color photos have been added, including some which show the newest introductions from Russia and Poland.
