Potted Common Purple Lilac (Starter Plant)(Syringa vulgaris)
Common Purple Lilac
Syringa vulgaris
The Common Purple Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) is the most popular lilac variety. It provides fantastic spring color every year without fail.
In the spring your Lilac will burst into bloom. Lovely clusters of lavender flowers sit against dark green, heart shaped leaves, and the fragrance is just delightful. These plants are so aromatic butterflies and hummingbirds find them irresistible.
Although it's been recreated for perfumes and candles, nothing compares to the scent of fresh Lilac. The fragrance is captivating; literally spring will be in the air for weeks, if not months.
Planted in any sunny spot in your yard, the Lilac will thrive in most any soil and can withstand even severe winters. This shrub has been a favorite for decades because you can essentially plant it and ignore it.
Your Lilac will grow quickly, making it a stunning choice as a hedge or privacy screen. However, it's also lovely as an accent plant.
