Discover the enchanting beauty of Syringa vulgaris var. Alba, commonly known as Common White Lilac, a stunning addition to any landscape with its intensely fragrant white flowers. Blooming in upright panicles during mid-spring, this lilac is perfect for those who appreciate the elegance of natural beauty paired with a delightful aroma. Its bluish-green heart-shaped leaves remain vibrant, adding a lush backdrop to any garden setting.

Ideal for mass planting or as a natural hedge, this upright, multi-stemmed deciduous shrub can reach up to 12 feet in height with a 9-foot spread. Despite its impressive stature, Common White Lilac is relatively low maintenance; however, it requires pruning post-flowering to maintain its magnificent blooms. Hardy and resilient, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating urban conditions with ease. While it attracts butterflies, it remains deer-resistant, making it a practical yet beautiful choice for diverse gardening applications.

This shrub also bears patience for air movement and exhibits a medium growth rate under favorable conditions. Be mindful of its suckering and potential invasiveness, but rest assured it can be planted under power lines. Enhance your yard with this lilac, a plant that not only flourishes in diverse landscapes but does so with a flowering charm that endures for decades.
