Lilac bushes are one of the most popular deciduous shrubs planted in residential gardens.
Tough as nails, hardy, disease resistant and easy to grow are just a few of the benefits of these shrubs. However, the most common reason Lilac's are planted is their attractive flowers and their incredible fragrance. Most lilacs are larger in size, but dwarf varieties are also available.
They are also known by their latin name Syringa.
Lilacs perform best in full sun and moist, but well drained alkaline soils.
