Lilac — a bright purple accent for your garden This legendary German lilac is known for its large, rich purple-red flowers and powerful, spreading crown. Its dark violet-purple buds bloom into spectacular fragrant inflorescences, creating an atmosphere of depth, nobility and classic spring beauty in the garden.
Variety characteristics:
Large cylindrical inflorescences up to 30 cm long — dense, lush, rich purple, with bright yellow stamens.
Flowering is abundant and regular, occurring in mid-late May to early June.
The buds are dark, violet-purple, and the flowers open to a purplish-reddish, fragrant, very expressive colour.
The crown is dense and spreading, with an adult plant reaching a diameter of 3 m and a height of 3-4 m.
The leaves are large, heart-shaped, 5–12 cm long, dark green, perfectly emphasising the brightness of the flowers.
It grows quickly and is highly frost-resistant, drought-resistant and undemanding. It prefers fertile loam, does not tolerate acidic soils or waterlogging.
In the landscape: This lilac looks magnificent both as a solitary plant, creating a powerful vertical accent, and in group plantings. Its dark purple inflorescences harmoniously combine with conifers, decorative foliage and white-flowered plants. It is ideal for avenues, formal areas and large compositions where an expressive colour centre is needed.

Grafted lilac
Grafted lilac
Grafted lilac is an elegant plant with a single, clearly defined growth axis, resembling a small tree. The flowering crown forms at a certain height, creating the effect of a flowering ball. This shape looks neat and decorative, ideal for single plantings, alleys and formal areas of the garden. The plant retains all its varietal qualities — colour, fragrance and shape of inflorescences. It blooms earlier than the bush form, but requires care of the grafting site and removal of suckers appearing below it.
