James Macfarlane Lilac
The true single pink flowers bloom freely.
Lilacs should be grown in fertile, humus-rich, well drained soil.
The Lilac 'James Macfarlane', Syringa presoniae 'James Macfarlane', blooms two weeks later than Syringa vulgaris types.
The large clusters of deliciously scented flowers bloom in May and June and are attractive to butterflies.
It is extremely hardy and adaptable, withstanding moisture conditions fatal to vulgaris hybrids.
This lilac has an upright shape.

Praying Mantises live throughout most of the US and Canada. The "patient predators" will eat flies, leafhoppers, caterpillars, and aphids. These garden friendly insect predators sometimes will munch on the other good guys - like bees and wasps.
