Some one gave me French Lilac seeds last year. I planted them, TOday I was looking at the plants out side and read the one Label .French Lilac and it was starting to Leaf.. Red leaves..........Sweet someting it said. Thanks b
I like the Syringa vulgaris a lot. We've got two. They're out in the corners, growing and blooming without any care. They get fertilized with the lawn and I remove dead branches and twigs in the spring. Then when they bloom, I cut some blooms where I want to trim the bush a bit, and bring inside. I love the scent. It likes a lot of sun here, but will probably prosper with a bit of shade as well on more southern latitudes.
It sounds like you have a wonder plant growing.I wish when it blooms we had Scratch-in -Sniff here on the Stew. :-D
Thanks Droopy, and glendann, We love the smell also.. I have a large white one , and 2 pink Josee everbloomers .. I was suprised to find it grew from seeds. Yes Glenda ......we need scratch an sniff.. Call the boss.
