Syringa vulgaris is the classic old fashioned Common Lilac, supplied as an XL approximately 40–60cm tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. A traditional favourite grown in British gardens for generations, these established nursery-grown plants are an excellent choice for instant gardening, providing immediate structure and a valuable head start over smaller young Lilacs.
The Common Lilac is loved for its wonderful spring display of large clusters of beautifully fragrant lilac-purple flowers. The unmistakable traditional Lilac fragrance makes it particularly enjoyable planted near pathways, entrances and seating areas, while the fresh green foliage creates an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season.
At approximately 40–60cm tall and established in a generous 5 litre pot, this is a substantial young shrub ready to develop into a magnificent traditional Lilac. Unlike smaller compact varieties, Syringa vulgaris develops into a larger, substantial flowering shrub, making it superb for mixed borders, cottage gardens, informal screens and traditional garden planting.

Please note: Plant height, shape, branching, foliage, flowering and fullness will naturally vary depending on the individual plant and time of year. Syringa vulgaris is deciduous and naturally loses its foliage during autumn and winter. Flowering is seasonal and plants are not guaranteed to be flowering when supplied. These are established nursery-grown plants carefully selected before dispatch and supplied ready to establish in the garden.
