Discover the captivating beauty of Syringa oblata, commonly known as Early Lilac or Broadleaf Lilac, an enchanting addition to any garden space. Originating from China and Korea, this deciduous shrub is cherished for its robust, spreading form, reaching heights of 8-12 feet with elegant arching branches. Early Lilac boasts dense panicles of fragrant pinkish-lilac flowers, blooming from April to May—an entire 10 days before the more common lilac species—filling the air with their delightful scent. Beyond its early bloom, this lilac captivates year-round with its leaves that change color with the seasons, offering brilliant purple-red hues in fall, a feature unique among lilacs. Best grown in full sun, this shrub thrives in average, well-drained soils and adapts well to urban conditions. To maintain its beauty, ensure good air circulation and remove spent flowers promptly. Ideal as a specimen plant or a charming informal hedge, Syringa oblata invites a touch of grace and elegance to any landscape.
