Lilac bushes are deciduous shrubs known for their fragrant flowers. The blooms come in shades of purple, pink, white, and lavender. They appear in spring and fill the air with a sweet scent.

Where possible, choose shrubs that hold their own during hot summers and cold winters. Chubby sprays of lilac-purple blooms float over the deciduous foliage from early summer to mid-autumn.
