Lilac, French
This shrub’s masses of blooms in late spring give off a divine fragrance which any home owner would be glad to have. The lilac is such a fantastic shrub that towns like our very own Lombard throw parades for it annually. This shrub should be planted in an area with good air circulation in full sun, and may benefit from some pruning to keep its shape. This shrub is available with pink, red, white, or purple flowers.
