Description

If you're looking to add a touch of timeless elegance and heady fragrance to your garden, let us introduce you to the perfect trio - the Fragrant French Lilac Collection. These aren't just any lilacs; they're classic varieties that have stood the test of time, each bringing unique charm and scent to the garden.

'Charles Joly' is a real showstopper, with deep reddish purple, double blooms. It's not just the colour that's captivating; the fragrance is rich and intoxicating, making it a favourite for many. 'Katherine Havemeyer' is a delightful lilac with large, double flowers that start lavender-purple and fade to soft pink. And finally, 'Miss Ellen Willmott' produces pure white, double blooms that exude a sweet, classic lilac scent.

These lilacs are more than just pretty faces. They're hardy, reliable, and easy to grow, thriving in most UK gardens. Whether you're planting them in borders, as a hedge, or even in large containers, they'll reward you year after year with their stunning displays and delightful fragrances.

Each variety complements the others, creating a harmonious blend of colours and scents that evolve throughout the blooming season. They're also fantastic for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies to your garden. And if you're into cut flowers, these lilacs make for exquisite bouquets that fill your home with their delightful aroma.

Supplied as a set of three established plants in 9cm pots, including one of each named variety, ready to plant.

Top Tips
  • Pot-grown shrubs can be planted at any time of the year as long as the soil is not waterlogged or frozen. If in doubt, err towards spring but remember to keep pots well-watered so that the soil does not dry out.
Care Information
  • Grow lilac plants in fertile, well drained soil in full sun.
  • Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established.
  • Lilac can be pruned in winter or spring by removing any damaged, diseased or misplaced stems before lightly shaping to retain the standard form and height. In mid-summer, faded flowers can be removed from the plants.
  • After pruning, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost to the base of the lilac.

 

To Plant

  • Shrub roots generally tend to spread out rather than down, so dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting, and mix some well rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill one the shrub is in place.
  • We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.
  • Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
  • Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.
