About Common Lilac

Syringa vulgaris is a robust, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub known for its upright, suckering growth habit, reaching heights of 12 to 16 feet. It features heart-shaped, dark green foliage that provides a lush backdrop for its iconic, intensely fragrant spring flower panicles. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is a staple for cold-winter landscapes and serves beautifully as a specimen, hedge, or cut flower source. It requires good air circulation to deter powdery mildew.
