Lilac 'Josée'

Lilac 'Josee' has reddish-pink buds which open to an explosion of pale lavender-pink blooms in early summer. The flowers are richly perfumed, filling the garden with scent and colour. If deadheaded regularly a second flush of bloom may appear later in the summer. Attractive heart-shaped foliage cloaks the spreading branches, retaining its fresh appearance throughout the season thanks to its particularly good resistance to mildew. This hardy, deciduous shrub has a neat, compact habit that is well suited to patio containers or planted in sunny borders and wildlife areas. Height and spread: 150cm (5'). Culinary note: Adding the fragrant flowers to cream cheese or even yoghurt for a hint of lemon flavour.
