Syringa persica

Sweet scent early spring enjoyment

A shorter form, densely branched, deciduous shrub of graceful, rounded habit, with wide panicles, 5-7cm long of richly fragrant, pale lilac flowers in spring. Only 60cm tall for me. Sun is best. Neutral or lime based soils. Heavenly here with Cytisus x kewensis and Phlox 'Oakington' Blue Eyes. 

Propagtaion of a vairety of dwarf, small leaved lilacs this summer.  On the teal background an unknown species or variety and S. x laciniata (the cut leaf lilac)
