This magnificent deciduous shrub is simple to grow and perpetually buzzes with bee and butterfly hum. Lilac ‘Madame Florent Stepman’ is comparatively small, staying a reasonable size for the typical UK garden for many years, unlike some Syringa cultivars. Cones of snow-white blossoms are carried above the heart-shaped foliage in late spring, filling the air with a pleasant and alluring fragrance. To add an amazing aroma to your home or early summer bouquets, trim a few stems. It is an attractive and practical option for wildlife areas and garden borders. Height: 4m (13’). Spread: 3m (10’).
Growing Information
Grow lilac plants in rich fertile, well drained, neutral or alkaline soil in full sun. Dwarf Lilac plants may be grown in containers if preferred using a loam based compost such as John Innes No.3.
