Description

Syringa 'Red Pixie' is a Lilac with small leaves possessing an elegance all its own, indeed the branches are almost horizontal, almost arched and give it a slightly weeping habit.

 

The abundant flowering in a sunny situation corresponds to beautiful panicles of small flowers blooming in turn. The buds are ruby red and open into a pearl pink flower. It is almost impossible to resist the desire to make a beautiful fragrant bouquet for the home.

Syringa microphylla are compact Lilacs that will always find a place in a garden regardless of its pruning. They can also flower the terraces, because in a pot they behave very well as long as they are watered. The whole thing is to place them in a well sunny situation.

Planting and care

The 'Red Pixie' Lilac appreciates being planted in full sun, in a soil that remains fairly cool, well drained. It tolerates any type of soil, but prefers slightly calcareous soils and fears frankly acidic soils. It will grow well in semi-shaded exposure, but flowering will be reduced. Easy to grow, it only requires mulching in the summer in a dry climate, to maintain a certain humidity. Water it in the first few years in case of marked drought. You can prune the flowering branches to make beautiful bouquets, or at the end of flowering to encourage the appearance of new flowers and avoid tiring the bush. Avoid severe pruning that limits the flowering of the following spring, unless your Syringa becomes too large.
