Old-Fashioned Lilac Hedge

Old-fashioned but timeless, common but elevated, this standard lilac has delighted generations of gardeners. Welcome the Common Old-Fashioned Lilac to your garden, and see why it's a classic! Extremely fragrant, purple panicles appear in mid- to late spring, attracting butterflies and other pollinators. A nice, large hedge, this lilac grows to a maximum height of ten to fifteen feet and can spread nearly as wide as it is tall. Lilac is a beautiful choice for a flowering hedge or privacy screen, as its branches are compact and full. Be sure to provide good air circulation, and full sun to partial shade. Set this lilac near an entryway or window to enjoy its springtime scent, and be sure to clip a few branches to bring indoors. Syringa vulgaris
