Lilac Shrubs

Lilac Shrubs (Syringa) are classic, fragrant bloomers known for their large clusters of purple, pink, or white flowers in spring. Their sweet scent and old-fashioned charm make them a favorite for borders, hedges, and cottage-style gardens.

Thriving in full sun and well-draining soil, lilacs are low maintenance, fragrant, and highly pollinator-friendly, attracting bees and butterflies.

Maintenance Tip:
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage next year’s blooms. Remove spent flowers and older stems periodically, and fertilize in early spring.
