PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Lilacs are perhaps the most iconic of late spring flowering shrubs. Originally ranging from southeast Europe to China and Japan, the species vulgaris has become one of the most intensively bred of all the Lilacs, with over 2000 different cultivars and more arising every year. No one can discuss Syringia vulgaris without mentioning Victor Lemoine and his son Emile who, at their nursery in Nancy, France, raised many of today's cultivars. Syringa vulgaris Mme Lemoine was one of these, introduced in 1939, it is a superb large hardy shrub with glossy green leaves and many dense panicles of richly fragrant yellow in bud, opening pure white double flowers, in May and June. A reliable cultivar of great merit that has been granted the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Lilacs prefer full sun but will flourish in partial shade. They are not fussy as to soil as long as it is reasonably well drained. They are excellent in chalky soil. Old flowering wood should be pruned out as soon as the flowers are finished and harder pruning can be undertaken at the same time if required. Lilacs take 2-3 years to reach full flowering potential. This plant can be planted as part of a mixed border or as a stand alone specimen in the garden or a container. If planting in a pot or other container. Use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade and become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-12 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost.

Hortus Planta was bought to you in 2022. We operate from our nursery in West Sussex where all our plants are grown and from where everything we sell is dispatched. We are a small team.

Our team has 15 years of experience in online selling. We aim to use this combined expertise to bring you a desirable and interesting offer of quality plants and related products, with new items added annually.

We accept payment by PayPal and Credit / Debit cards entered on eBay only. You must be registered with PayPal or eBay to buy from us.

We ship via Royal Mail tracked 48 for our smaller items and Parcelforce Express 48 for our larger orders.

Please remember when purchasing from us that we are not a garden centre. In general garden centres sell a range of seasonal plants, that are sold for a limited period of time, when they look at their best. We are a nursery and offer you plants as near to an all year-round basis as possible. This means that at different times of year plants will not look at their best. In winter some may just be a pot of roots, in summer many will have been pruned and in autumn deciduous plants will have leaves that are dying and this will often mean they are mis-coloured and diseased, both natural ingredients of the process of decay and eventually renewal. All our plants have a one year, no quibble guarantee, from the date of order, so in the very unlikely event your poorly looking plant bought in autumn or winter (or in the case of some varieties, in summer) does not flourish in its main growing season, you are protected!
