Description
The Little Lady™ hybrid lilac (Syringa First Editions® Little Lady™ 'Jeflady') is a compact bush with charming pretty clusters of fragrant lilac pink flowers and colourful autumn foliage. Compact and undemanding, this little lilac can be planted in gardens or large pots on the terrace. Particularly hardy, it can be grown in regions with harsh winters.
The Little Lady™ lilac belongs to the oleaceae family, like all lilacs. This hybrid variety was selected in Canada by Jeffries Nursery, specifically for its robustness and adaptability to cold climates. The plant resembles 'Miss Kim' but its growth is more compact. The Little Lady™ lilac has an upright and rounded habit, with moderate growth. When mature, around the age of 10, the bush reaches a height and width of 1.20 to 1.50 m, depending on growing conditions. It blooms in May-June, depending on the climate. Its abundant inflorescences are composed of dark pink buds that open into delicate mauve or lilac pink flowers. These sweetly scented flowers attract butterflies and beautifully contrast with the light and fresh green foliage. In autumn, the leaves take on a powdery red to violet hue before falling.
The flowers of Syringa 'Little Lady' are smaller and thinner than those of classic lilacs, but they are more numerous and delightfully fragrant. It is almost impossible to resist the urge to make a beautiful scented bouquet for the home. Its compact habit makes it suitable for small gardens. It will also please gardeners who have had a bad experience with a common lilac that grows exuberantly, produces suckers, and is a bit too bulky. It will find its place in every garden and can also flower on terraces, in a container, with regular feeding and watering. To accompany it in a flower bed, choose other small shrubs, such as an abelia, 'Annelies' shrub rose, 'Nahno Purple' butterfly bush, and Choisya 'Scented Gem'.

Planting and care
Syringa 'Little Lady' appreciates full sun, in deep soil that remains fairly moist and well-drained. It can tolerate any type of soil. It will grow well in partially shaded areas, but flowering will be reduced. Easy to grow, it only requires mulching in summer and occasional watering in dry climates to maintain some moisture. Water it in the first few years in case of significant drought. You can prune the flowering branches to make beautiful bouquets, or at the end of flowering to avoid exhausting the bush. Avoid severe pruning that limits the following spring's flowering, 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.
