Lilac josikaea is a wide, spreading species with a big garden presence. Slender stems bear airy panicles of small, pink flowers with a sweet perfume. Hungarian Lilacs are well suited to a cooler climate, making a superb specimen shrub towards the back of the border. This deciduous shrub is best suited to larger borders where it has plenty of space to develop its naturally arching habit.Height and spread: 3.5m (11').
