Common Lilac
Syringa vulgaris
Common Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) is a popular flowering shrub prized for its springtime beauty and fragrance. Lilacs boast clusters of fragrant lavender, purple, or white flowers in spring, creating a colorful spectacle in your garden. The sweet fragrance attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, adding to the vibrancy of your landscape. The dense foliage provides privacy and a backdrop for other plants. Additionally, lilacs can be pruned to maintain a desired size and shape.
Plant Lilacs alongside other flowering shrubs and perennials for a colorful and visually interesting display or alone as a focal point. Lilacs can be used to create privacy hedges or define boundaries in your yard. Lilacs can even be grown in containers on patios and balconies, bringing their beauty to smaller spaces. With its captivating fragrance, beautiful blooms, and versatility, Syringa vulgaris can be a valuable addition to any landscape.
