Japanese lilac
Syringa villosa
Late lilac (Syringa villosa) is a robust, cold-hardy shrub prized for its fragrant pinkish-lilac flower plumes that appear later in the season than common lilacs. Plant in well-drained soil with at least 6 hours of sunlight and water regularly until established. It requires minimal pruning — simply remove spent blooms right after flowering to encourage the next season's display.
