Known as “Queen of the Shrubs“, lilac is one of the most challenging and most fragrant flowering shrubs in many gardens today. You may recognize them as a flower in your grandmother’s garden.
That factor of nostalgia is probably one of the reasons they have grown in popularity over the past five years. Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) is one of the species of flowering plant in the Oleaceae (olive) family that is native to the forests and scrubland from eastern Asia to southeastern Europe.
