Syringa pubescens subsp. microphylla 'Superba'
pink littleleaf lilac
Notes:
May rebloom lightly in late summer/early autumn; generally a more profuse bloomer than the species. Compact and resistant to mildew.
Despite not being native to the eastern USA, Doug Tallamy lists lilacs as supporting 35 native species of butterflies/moths, fourth among all non-native genera.
