Lilacs are common shrubs of European gardens. Their flowering highlights month of May offering many shades of pink, purple and violet, and white. They are low maintenance plants which is why you can see them in so many landscapes.

Belle de Nancy (The Beauty of Nantes) is one of over 200 lilac cultivars bred and introduced by a little-known French horticulturist Victor Lemoine. This one was introduced in 1891 and bears soft pink, semi-double flowers composed in a 20-25 cm long panicle with an intensely sweet perfume. They open from the first half of May for 2-3 weeks. Pruning is not needed but can be done immediately after flowering. Deadheading is recommended for young plants. Deciduous leaves are heart-shaped, medium green. This variety makes an upright yet spreading shrub that will get wider than tall in full maturity.

Lilacs are easy to grow. They will take almost any soil but will thrive in deep, fertile, well-drained soil that is neutral or slightly alkaline. They respond well to hard pruning. Adult plants often make suckers forming an even denser, multi-stemmed shrub. Unwanted spreading needs to be controlled by digging the suckers out. Fully hardy to about -37°C (USDA zone 3).
