Syringa pinnatifolia is a deciduous shrub that typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 meters. The leaves are pinnate, with 3 to 7 leaflets, which is unusual for the genus. The leaflets are ovate to lanceolate, with a smooth margin and a pointed tip. The flowers are small, white to pale lilac, and are borne in dense panicles. The flowering period is from May to June.

Syringa pinnatifolia is cultivated for its ornamental value. It is appreciated for its unique foliage and attractive flowers. The plant prefers full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil. It is relatively low-maintenance and can be propagated by seeds or cuttings.

Uses[edit | edit source]

While primarily grown for ornamental purposes, Syringa pinnatifolia may also have potential uses in traditional medicine, although specific uses are not well-documented.
