Weeping Lilac

‘Hers’ is a named lilac selection sold as Weeping Lilac or Hers Juliana Lilac. Current nursery descriptions identify a graceful, arching crown and fragrant spring flowers; historical documentation cautions that the selection’s provenance is uncertain, so this profile describes the documented horticultural offering without claiming a confirmed lineage. ## Flowers and form The named selection is described with pale pink to mauve-lilac flowers and a weeping crown with arching branches. Some nursery offerings are top-grafted to display this form. Published nursery dimensions vary around 4–6 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide. ## Growing conditions Current selection listings recommend full sun and well-drained soil, with average moisture. Use as a specimen where the arching outline can be seen. The available listings describe spring flowering and a deciduous habit. ## Sources [International Lilac Register discussion of ‘Hers’](https://www.plantexplorers.com/articles/hers-juliana-lilac.htm) · [NVK Nurseries](https://www.nvknurseries.com/plant/Syringa-pubescens-subsp-julianae-Hers) · [Antheia Gardens](https://antheiagardens.ca/plant-name/Syringa-pubescens%20subsp.%20julianae-Hers) ## Maintenance Provide room for the crown to develop and remove damaged or crossing branches after flowering.
