Easy plant rewards with gorgeous spring blooms - typical pretty lilac fragrance. Remains a manageable size esp. nice for smaller yards. Seems to appreciate a good winter pruning as well.

I live in Deming New Mexico. Our weather down here gets on the average in the summers 98 degrees to some hot days of 103 degrees. Winters average 30 to low 50's. We have alot of wind, especially durning the spring. I recently planted persian lilacs on the east side of my house to protect them from the hot sun and wind. They receive only the morning sun.

Profusive bloomer. It just covers itself in hugh fragrant blooms. After blooming the plant likes to grow round. Meaning it wants to be as wide as it is tall, and graceful shoots of blue green leaves hang loose. It's quite lovely and gives a soft look.
