This French lilac is a vigorous deciduous shrub with purple-red blooms edged in white. Fragrant, showy blooms make a wonderful cut flower. A lovely addition to perennial gardens. Also makes an attractive, informal hedge. Lilacs are among the best-known spring-flowering shrubs. For reliable bloom and sweet fragrance, generally before Memorial Day, these sturdy shrubs are in a class by themselves. Grows to 10 feet tall and 6 feet wide and likes full sun. Hardy to Zone 3.
