Syringa hyacinthiflora
Syringa hyacinthiflora hybrids emerged for the first time in 1876 by a crossing of a filled S. vulgaris with S. oblata by Victor Lemoine. The Hybrid was named after the hyacinth-like shape of its flowers. Initially, unfilled, varieties with double flowers came later as well. S. hyacinthiflora are blooming a little earlier than S. vulgaris and are a well suited means, to expand the lilac season in the gardens. They possess a bushier habitus than many vulgaris and bloom not only earlier, but also rich. -
Special Syringa
Syringa x prestoniae and Syringa josiflexa were bred by Isabella Preston in the middle of the 20th century in Canada. This caused their nickname: "Canadian lilacs". Both stand out with an extreme winter hardness. Also, they differ very much from Syringa vulgaris plants through their leaf shape and habitus. The bloom begins approximately 2 to 3 weeks later than S.vulgaris and has its own exotic scent. Therefore, prestoniae varieties are well suited for prolonging the lilac season in a garden. They grow to a height of about 2.5 meters and have fragrant, unfilled and elogated single flowers, that grow in loose panicles. Especially appealing are the unopened flowers. these varieties are very well suited for bucket growth. Syringa x chinensis originated from a natural hybrid of S. vulgaris and S. laciniata and was first discovered in 1777, in the Botanical garden of Rouen. Syringa x chinensis is one of the most beautiful lilac varieties and well suited for garden usage. The "royal lilac" grows only a few stolons and forms 4 m high and equally wide, round bushes. Royal lilacs are very undemanding and can even be used as a windbreak hedge. Dryness in summer will be tolerated, waterlogging won't. The strongly scented flowers appear a little later than S. vulgaris, which is advantagous in frost prone locations. The small, simple single flowers form loose, overhanging, 15 - 30 cm long panicles in great abundance. Blooming royal lilacs belong to the most beautiful, what a garden has to offer in may.
