Syringa laciniata
Cut Leaf Lilac
This native of the province of Gansu in northern China was “...one of the first oriental lilacs to travel. Crossed somewhere on the way, it found its way as the hybrid S. X persica into Persia long ago”, writes Fr. John Fiala in his fine monograph Lilacs:The Genus Syringa. At Lambley it has made a shrub 2 metres tall by 2 metres in ten years. Every September it carries 50cm long spikes of lavender pink, fragrant flowers. Drought tolerant.
