It forms a shrub 12 feet high by 8 feet wide that is covered with gorgeous sprays of flowers in spring. Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Plant your lilac in well-drained soil. Lilac flowers are beloved for bouquets, and when in bloom, hummingbirds and butterflies are drawn to them. Lilacs are generally a forgiving bunch, tolerant of roadside sites and neglect.
Lilacs have an aroma many associate with feelings of “home” or other pleasant memories. The clusters of fragrant purple flowers that adorn the lilac bush in the late spring means that summer is just around the corner. They make a wonderful cut flower and look great with peonies or roses. The Lilac is a very common ornamental plant in gardens and parks, because of the attractive, sweet smell of its flowers. It grows best in a sunny location.

Lilacs are also great for cottage gardens and as margins of woodland gardens. Great cut flower. If you want to attract Hummingbirds and Butterflies to your landscape, lilacs are a great choice for this.
