A small shrub with big ambitions, Syringa meyeri 'Flowerfesta® Purple' really earns its place in tight spaces. Large, once-flowering lilacs are hard to justify in a small garden, but this lilac is small, delicate and repeat-blooming – producing a big flush of purple panicles in early summer, followed by another flush in autumn. The airy panicles are larger than other meyeri cultivars and their sweet scent deserves a spot near seating where you can fully enjoy their perfume.

Fine branches are clothed in small, oval leaves, quite different to the large, heart-shaped leaves of common lilacs, lending the whole shrub a very elegant appearance. Despite its dainty habit, this is a robust and hardy shrub which makes a fine pot specimen but is equally suited to massed planting in perennial borders. Height and spread: 125cm (49in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow lilac plants in rich fertile, well drained, neutral or alkaline soil in full sun. Young Lilacs will benefit from a sheltered position.
Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established. Prune lilac bushes in winter or spring by removing any damaged, diseased or misplaced stems before lightly shaping the remaining stems. After pruning, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the shrub.
