Description
Syringa vulgaris 'Mrs. Edward Harding' (Lilac)
A deciduous shrub that produces stunning clusters of deep reddish-purple, fragrant flowers in late spring. It grows to about 3-4 meters tall and wide, making it suitable for hedging or as a standalone feature in Australian gardens. This lilac prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and it thrives in cooler climates, especially in southern Australia. Prune after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage blooming. It is also moderately drought-tolerant once established.
