Lilac, ‘Madame Lemoine’ – This is an heirloom French lilac that forms a wide spreading plant. Dense panicles of marvelously fragrant, double white flowers in May and June and heart-shaped,
fresh-green leaves. This elegant white lilac is perfect for a sunny mixed or shrub border. Growing a late-summer flowering clematis through the branches is a good way of enhancing the shrub after it has flowered. The flowers give off a delightfully sweet fragrance and attract butterflies and bees.
Lilacs have an aroma many may associate with feelings of “home” or other pleasant memories. The clusters of fragrant white flowers that adorn the lilac bush in the late spring mean 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.
The Lilac is a reliable spring-flowering shrub for cold winter landscapes. They are excellent as a specimen/accent or in small groups, shrub borders, hedges or screens. 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. The characteristics that make these species so visually appealing – showy flowers, winter color – are some of Nature’s most powerful draws for the animal kingdom.
