Chinese Lilac
Flowers are produced in 4-5" long panicles after the foliage emerges.
The Chinese Lilac, Syringa Chinensis, is a large round-headed shrub that can be used as a single specimen or as a background border or screening planting.
Renewal pruning to remove a few older canes each year will help keep the plant full to the base.
It produces an excellent floral display in early May.
It is a profuse bloomer with fragrant flowers covering much of the plant.
Prune after flowering for best landscape effect.
The flower color is lilac purple.
