Lilacs




Name: Lilac
Variety: Syringa Vulgar
Type: Shrub
Height: 8'
Sun: Full Sun
Flower Color: Deep Purple
Bloom Time: Late April
Location:  Front north of house, south of garage

I didn't keep the variety of lilacs other than the common vulgar. I'm not certain I ever had that information because these came from a local grower. They are doing so well. Last year the large bush had some sort of fungus so we pruned it out. Thanks to the internet I was able to save this beautiful bush. The smaller plant is also doing very well now that we've replanted it in better soil. I look for many many years of beautiful lilacs. These are a deep dark french purple and have a very light scent. I love seeing them very day as I drive home from work.
