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.

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).
