Ornamental Trees: Lilac

Lilac Tree Form – The prolific blooming shrub we are familiar with, but here we see it in tree form with a single trunk. They are highly fragrant and offered in colours from pale lilac to a stunning deep purple. Lilacs are beautiful and popular patio plants that are smothered in stunning panicles drawing droves of pollinators and butterflies! Tree form Lilacs have a rounded form and they have been trained to grow in a small, tree-like shape, with the primary plant grafted high atop a standard (single trunk). Blooming profusely at an early age, they are best used as a solitary accent or focal point in the garden. Being a relatively low maintenance tree, it should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of next season’s flowers.

Lilacs are generally a forgiving bunch and thrive is most locations – it is why you may have seen the Ivory Silk Lilac lining the streets in newer subdivisions.
