Syringa vulgaris, commonly known as Common Lilac, is a deciduous shrub cherished for its highly fragrant, showy flower clusters that bloom in mid to late spring. Growing 8 to 15 feet tall and wide, this traditional favorite produces dense panicles of lavender, purple, or white flowers that attract butterflies and pollinators, making it a staple in cottage gardens and classic landscapes.
The shrub’s upright, multi-stemmed habit makes it an ideal choice for hedges, privacy screens, or as a standalone specimen plant. While Common Lilac is celebrated for its ornamental and sensory appeal, it is not a native plant and offers limited ecological support for wildlife.

ommon Lilac thrives in full sun (at least 6 hours per day) and prefers well-drained, fertile soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. It does best in areas with good air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and other diseases.
This deciduous shrub typically grows 8 to 15 feet tall and 6 to 12 feet wide, forming a large, multi-stemmed, upright shrub. It can be pruned to maintain a smaller size or shaped into a tree-like form.
Common Lilac blooms in mid-to-late spring (typically May), producing fragrant, cone-shaped clusters of flowers that come in shades of purple, lavender, pink, and white, depending on the variety.
Yes! Lilacs attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making them an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. The dense branches can also provide shelter for small birds.
Lilacs are generally low-maintenance, but they benefit from pruning immediately after flowering to maintain their shape and encourage new blooms. Removing older stems every few years helps improve air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
