Syringa vulgaris ‘Burgundy Queen’, more commonly known as common lilac, is a deciduous shrub with an upright, bushy habit, remarkable for its abundant spring bloom. This variety is distinguished by its clusters of double flowers, a deep and intense purple, which exhale an enchanting fragrance, much appreciated in the garden as well as in bouquets. Ideal for informal hedges, borders, or as a specimen plant, it attracts butterflies and adds a majestic touch to landscape designs. Its medium green foliage highlights the rich chromaticity of its bloom. Cold-hardy and low-maintenance, it adapts well to well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded exposures. Ornamental and ecological, this lilac is perfect for creating a sensory garden while promoting biodiversity.
