Syringa villosa
Syringa villosa, known as hairy lilac or late lilac, is a hardy shrub prized for its late blooming and vigorous habit. This species develops a rounded, dense habit with upright branches adorned with large, dark green, slightly velvety oval leaves. In early summer, after common lilacs have bloomed, large panicles of fragrant lilac-pink flowers appear, extending the lilac season in the garden. The flowers attract many pollinators and add a colorful touch to flowerbeds. Very hardy and adaptable, Syringa villosa tolerates various soils and cold climates well, making it an excellent choice for flowering hedges, naturalistic gardens, or landscape plantings.
