Description

Syringa villosa, or hairy lilac, is a very hardy species, well-adapted to northern climates, which blooms later than common lilacs. It produces large panicles of pink to lavender, lightly scented flowers that appear in late spring. Its bushy, wide habit makes it ideal for flowering hedges or isolated plantings. Highly tolerant of poor soils, cold winds, and harsh conditions, it is perfect for extending the lilac season in rustic or naturalistic gardens.
