They reach heights of 3 to 7 meters and are best known for their fragrant, plume-like flower clusters that appear in May (sometimes ranging from April to June).
The flowers are typically lilac or purple, though they can also be white, pink, or violet.
The leaves range from heart-shaped to oval.
Native to Southeastern Europe (the Balkans), the plant is hardy.
It thrives in full sun or light shade, in well-drained soil—preferably soil that is rich in lime.
Lilacs are highly popular in gardens due to their strong, sweet fragrance.
They are best pruned immediately after flowering, as they bloom on the previous year's growth.
They symbolize (first) love, youth, nostalgia, and memory.
