50 Seeds Purple Lilac Syringa vulgaris Fragrant Shrub Hardy Perennial

Syringa vulgaris, commonly known as lilac, is a deciduous flowering shrub treasured for its dense clusters of small, fragrant purple blooms that appear in spring. A classic garden favorite, it adds height, structure, and old-fashioned charm to borders, hedges, and landscape plantings, and the blossoms are a welcome sight in the home garden each season.

The purple flowers are lovely in cut arrangements and bring seasonal color and fragrance to outdoor spaces. Lilac grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and benefits from a spot with good air circulation. It is a long-lived shrub that develops into an upright, rounded habit over time.
