Syringa, commonly known as lilac, is a genus of deciduous shrubs and small trees in the olive family. Renowned for their spectacular mid-to-late spring blooms, they produce large, conical panicles of intensely fragrant, tubular flowers in shades of purple, lavender, and white. These plants typically feature an upright, multi-stemmed growth habit with dark green, heart-shaped leaves. They thrive in full sun and well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil, making them a classic choice for hedges.
