Description
Syringa × hyacinthiflora 'Missimo' (Early Flowering Lilac)
'Missimo' is a deciduous shrub known for its abundant clusters of deep purple, fragrant flowers that appear in early spring. It grows to about 2.5-3 meters tall and wide, making it suitable for hedges, borders, or as a standout feature plant in Australian gardens. This lilac thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. It is best suited to cooler climates, particularly in southern Australia, and should be pruned after flowering to encourage dense growth and vibrant blooms.
