Lilac 'Charles Joly'

Lilac 'Charles Joly' is an RHS AGM winner. It will add a wonderful hue and a rich, dreamy fragrance to your garden. This outstanding variety grows into a large shrub or a spreading multi-stemmed tree. A beautiful addition to cottage gardens, scented planting schemes, and wildlife areas, where the nectar-rich blooms will attract a plethora of butterflies. From May to June, tightly packed clusters of deep purple, double flowers appear at the stem tips. The heart-shaped foliage, like all Syringa, remains an attractive feature even after the flowers have faded. Height and spread: 7m (22?).
