This popular variety is the old fashion French Lilac or Common Lilac. It grows 10 to 15 feet in height with a spread of 6 to 12 feet. The lilac colored flowers are extremely fragrant and appear in early to mid-May on panicles 4 to 8 inches long. These respond well to pruning and can be grown as a shrub or small tree. These also make for a great flowering bonsai. Hardy to zone 3.
Lilacs are among the most popular cultivated shrubs in the temperate world. Aside from roses, there is no flower as beautiful and aromatic. There is nothing better than the sweet scent of a freshly picked bouquet of lilacs in early spring. Lilacs are seldom bothered by pests, easy to grow and are renowned for their showy fragrant flowers produced profusely in spring to early summer. All make great specimen plants. Even when the flowers drop, the foliage continues to make the lilac an attractive shrub/tree for the remainder of the growing season.
