Description
This is a collection of 3 Lilacs with single and fragrant flowers in different colours, 3 excellent varieties that have proven themselves in gardens. In addition to their magnificent spring flowering, these tall bushes are perfectly hardy and adapt to almost all regions. They can be used in groups, as informal hedges, or in the background of flower beds. You can also perfume your interior with bunches of lilac.
The collection consists of:
-1 Syringa vulgaris 'Comtesse D'Harcourt': a variety reaching a height of 4 m, whose crown often produces shoots. Long branching clusters grouped in two or more, reaching 20 cm. Flowers are pure white and slightly fragrant.
-1 Syringa vulgaris 'Souvenir de Louis Spaeth' ('Andenken an Ludwig Späth'): an old German variety reaching a height of 3.50 m, one of the most robust and vigorous with very large clusters of flowers (30 cm) in a rare burgundy-purple. Light, very floral fragrance.
-1 Syringa vulgaris 'Sensation': a variety reaching a height of 3 to 4 m, awarded in England. Its flowering is bicolour, violet bordered with white, which is relatively rare among lilacs. It blooms a little earlier than other lilacs and has a less pronounced fragrance.
These worry-free bushes decorate and perfume the garden in the heart of spring. They can be planted in a large informal hedge or a flower bed, in deep garden soil, even clay-limestone soil. Their crown often produces shoots, which allows them to regenerate but takes up some space. In a hedge, keep a minimum spacing of 1 m between each lilac plant, 1.50 m if you choose other bushes and small trees as companions. Lilacs blend well with ornamental apple trees, flowering cherry trees, or garden mock oranges, for example.

Planting and care
Lilacs appreciate full sun, in deep, fairly rich, well-drained soil. They can tolerate any type of soil, but prefer slightly alkaline soils and are sensitive to strongly acidic soils. They also grow in partially shaded areas, but flowering will be reduced. They are easy to grow and only need mulching in dry climates to maintain some moisture. Water them during the first few years in pronounced drought. You can cut the flowering branches to make beautiful bunches, or at the end of flowering to promote the emergence of new flowers and prevent the bush from getting tired. Avoid severe pruning that limits flowering the following spring, unless your lilac becomes too large.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
