Syringa Vulgaris

Syringa vulgaris, commonly known as the Common Lilac or simply Lilac, is a deciduous shrub cherished for its fragrant and showy clusters of flowers. Native to southeastern Europe, it has been cultivated worldwide for its beauty and fragrance. The plant typically grows to a height of 4 meters with a spread of 2-3 meters.

Its iconic blossoms bloom in late spring to early summer, presenting a range of colours from white and pale pink to deep purple. The flowers are often used in floral arrangements and potpourri for their delightful scent. The leaves are simple, opposite, and heart-shaped, providing an attractive backdrop to the flowers.

Lilacs are relatively low-maintenance, preferring well-drained soil and full sun for optimal growth and bloom. Pruning after flowering helps maintain their shape and encourages new growth for the following year. Due to its beauty, fragrance, and ease of care, Syringa vulgaris remains a popular choice for gardens, landscapes, and cut flower enthusiasts alike.
