Common Purple Lilac
The Common Purple Lilac has for generations been cherished by gardeners for it’s fragrant purple blossoms and its ability to create a lush green wall. Technically a multi-stemmed shrub, this Lilac grows vigorously and flowers in late spring. Their conical clusters of florets have a tube-shaped base with four spreading petal lobes. The leaves are smooth, dark green, heart shaped and bud out prior to the flowers. The Common Purple Lilac is quite hardy, deer resistant and requires very little care. They are excellent for hedges along the border of a property line or as a windbreak but can also be planted as a single specimen.
