Value-for-money
This compact lilac forms a dense bush clothed in small green leaves. In spring, its clusters, packed with ruby-red flower buds, open into very fragrant pink flowers, then a second, lighter flowering appears in late summer. It flowers best in full sun, in well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil that is not too dry. Plant it in a border or in a large pot on the patio.

Planting and care

The Syringa ‘Red Pixie’ is best planted from autumn to early spring, when there is no risk of frost; a container-grown specimen can be planted later if watering is kept up. Choose full sun to encourage abundant flowering. The soil should be well drained, neutral to alkaline, fairly fertile and retain some moisture in spring. In clay soils, make sure above all that water drains away freely. Water regularly for the first one or two dry spells. Once well established, this lilac tolerates periods of drought, but prolonged droughts restrict its growth and repeat flowering. In a pot, choose a large container with drainage holes and a substantial, loam-rich but well-drained compost; watering needs closer monitoring in summer.
