This lilac is a good choice for those who want the beautiful fragrant flowers of a lilac but don't have room for a larger cultivar. It has been an excellent shrub at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, surviving many years.

Remove flower clusters after they have finished blooming. Prune out dead or damaged branches at any time.
