Description

Common Lilac is the iconic deciduous shrub that defines spring in many temperate gardens with its spectacular floral display and unforgettable fragrance. It forms a large, rounded, multi-stemmed shrub with heart-shaped leaves. In mid to late spring, it is covered in large, conical clusters of tiny, tubular flowers in shades of lavender, purple, or white, depending on the cultivar. The rich, sweet scent is powerful and can perfume an entire garden. A timeless choice for cottage gardens, hedges, or as a specimen.
