With particularly large flowers and a powerful perfume, Lilac 'Michael Buchner' is an excellent choice for sensory gardens. Conical flower heads are densely packed with rose pink buds that open to reveal star-shaped, lilac blooms with pretty white centres. This charming Syringa has an upright habit which forms a large shrub or small, multi-branched tree. The attractive heart shaped foliage makes a pleasing backdrop for summer perennials and the blooms are superb for cutting. A particularly showy variety that makes a big impact in the garden! Height and spread: 7m (22’).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow lilac plants in rich fertile, well drained, neutral or alkaline soil in full sun. Young Lilacs will benefit from a sheltered position.

Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established. Prune lilac bushes in winter or spring by removing any damaged, diseased or misplaced stems before lightly shaping the remaining stems. After pruning, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost to the base of the shrub.
