$12.01The Story
- A brilliant choice for UK gardeners, this lilac offers incredibly fragrant, deep wine-red flower panicles bringing dramatic spring colour. The overall effect is nothing short of spectacular.
- You will be delighted by the naturally large, upright, and beautifully bushy growth habit. It is beautifully complemented by its heart-shaped, fresh green deciduous leaves providing a lush summer canopy, making it highly rewarding to cultivate.
- It demonstrates incredible resilience when grown in well-drained, slightly alkaline or chalky soils in a sunny, open position. Despite its highly ornamental appearance, it is reassuringly robust and easy to care for in the UK.
- It offers immense value to the local wildlife, specifically butterflies and bees intoxicated by the sweet perfume all year round. It is a superb choice for planting near seating areas or for cut flower displays.
- A fascinating piece of botanical history regarding this lilac: lilacs actually belong to the olive family, Oleaceae. In Victorian times, giving a sprig of lilac became a celebrated symbol of old-fashioned romance.
