Syringa oblata
Early Lilac
Description
Syringa oblata, commonly known as the early blooming Lilac, is a deciduous shrub or small tree cherished for its fragrant, early-season blooms. It is a very attractive shrub with an unusual appearance. The flowers are typically lavender to purple, adding a delightful scent to the garden. Unlike common lilacs, this species blooms earlier in the spring, often before other lilacs. The leaves are heart-shaped and provide a lush, green backdrop for the colorful flowers. Chinese Lilacs are relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate a variety of soil conditions. Pruning after flowering will help maintain a nice shape. This Lilac prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
