Zulauf Canadian lilac

The Canadian lilac is botanically known as Syringa 'Minuet'. This plant features violet, intensely fragrant flowers and reaches a height of about 2 meters, making it an excellent choice for ornamental gardens. It prefers calcium-free, acidic, nutrient-rich soil and thrives in both partially shaded and sunny locations. Its summer-green leaves remain through the fall, and the plant is particularly bee-friendly, making it a valuable addition to any garden.

The plant is low-maintenance and is an excellent choice for beginners due to its ease of care. It tolerates moist soil and is frost-resistant, allowing it to thrive even in colder climates. Its bushy growth habit creates a compact, natural effect in the garden and is ideal for use as an ornamental plant in beds or as a solitary specimen.

With its vibrant violet flowers in June, it becomes a focal point, attracting both garden enthusiasts and pollinators.
