Lilacs

The Lilac is a flowering shrub originally native to Europe and Asia often found in gardens and parks. They can range in size from small shrubs of four feet to trees of thirty feet. They produce flowers in spring and the flowers can range from white to pink to purple. The flowers are about 1 centimeter in diameter and will have four petals. If the plant is pruned however, it is not likely to produce flowers and may not produce flowers again for several years.

They come in hundreds of varieties including:

Syringa Meyeri which will reach four to eight feet in height with violet to purple flowers.

Syringa Patula which will reach a height of nine to ten feet is also known as Manchurian Lilac and will bloom year round.

Syringa Reticulata which will reach a height of twenty to thirty feet and is also known as Japanese Tree Lilac.
