Cold-winter gardeners welcome one the season’s most fragrant and attractive flowers in May, when common lilac (Syringa vulgaris; USDA zones 3 to 8; find your zone) comes on with a short but intense flowering period.
Common lilac is a European native. Its fragrant flowers, ranging in colors from light lavender to a range of pink, purple, blue and white shades, welcome birds and butterflies. These flowering shrubs are beautiful as garden focal points, and their cut flowers can be brought inside to brighten any room.
