Syringa chinensis – Chinese Lilac, Rouen Lilac (Syringa chinensis)
General Description Syringa chinensis, commonly known as Chinese Lilac or Rouen Lilac, is a hybrid species resulting from the cross between Syringa vulgaris and Syringa persica. Originating in the 18th century, it is cherished for its abundant, fragrant flowers and elegant arching branches. Highly valued in ornamental gardening, it is widely planted in parks, gardens, and urban landscapes for its spectacular spring bloom and delightful fragrance.
Plant Characteristics This deciduous shrub reaches 2 to 4 meters in height, forming a rounded, dense habit with gracefully arching branches. Its small, dark green leaves provide a lush backdrop to the profusion of fragrant, violet-purple flowers, which appear in large, loose panicles in late spring. The blooms attract butterflies and pollinators, making it a beneficial addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
Taste and Benefits Not edible, but widely appreciated for its intoxicating fragrance and ornamental beauty. Traditionally, lilac flowers have been used in essential oils, perfumes, and natural remedies.
