Syringa × hyacinthiflora ‘Scentara Double Blue’, more commonly known as Scentara® Double Blue lilac, is a robust deciduous shrub renowned for its spectacular spring bloom, producing large panicles of double violet-blue flowers, among the most fragrant of all lilacs. Its upright, bushy habit, reaching up to 240 cm in height and width, makes it an excellent choice for structuring flowering hedges, borders, or solitary plantings. This hybrid, particularly resistant to cold (zone 2) and diseases, adapts well to northern climates. Its flowers are highly appreciated by butterflies and other pollinators, reinforcing its ecological interest in the garden. Preferring a sunny exposure and well-drained soil, this lilac also stands out for its reliable growth and limited maintenance, making it a popular choice for both amateur and experienced gardeners.
