Known for its richly scented, lavender-purple flower clusters, this hardy shrub puts on a spectacular show each spring—often blooming in mid to late May depending on your region. The blooms are not only beautiful in the garden but also excellent for cutting, filling your home with their unforgettable fragrance. This variety typically grows up to 13 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, multi-stemmed shrub that can be used as a hedge, screen, or stunning spring focal point. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, it's remarkably low-maintenance. Extremely cold hardy, the Old Fashioned Lilac withstands temperatures down to at least –40°C, making it an excellent choice for gardeners across Canada. As one of the most cherished and widely planted lilacs, Syringa vulgaris has earned its place in generations of gardens. With its dependable performance, delightful scent, and long lifespan, the Old Fashioned Lilac brings a touch of history and enduring beauty to any landscape.
