Lilac sale
The Common Purple is the one most often thought of when it comes to lilacs. It is often referred to as the "old-fashioned lilac."
Common Purple lilac, Syringa vulgaris, was brought the United States from Southeast Europe in the 1700s. The 12- to 15-feet tall and 8- to 12-feet wide upright bush grows in a vase shape. Its profuse purple blooms provide fantastic midseason spring color and fragrance. It is hardy, easy to care for and good for exposed, windy locations.
This is one of the man lilacs available at the Lombard Lilac Sale online at www.lombardardenclub.org until May 8.
