Lilac

Is there such a thing as a dwarf lilac please that can be grown in a pot?

 

Sheal, this is the first time I've been able to reply with pukka information. Yes, there is : Syringia Microphylla "Superba".J K Parkers.co.uk is showing a nice specimen if you Google it. I have one, see piccies below. It is only 3 years old this year and it's flowering for the first time. I have just taken this piccie of it.
There are others I think and the GC gurus will tell you more I expect, Gosh I feel rather chuffed that I v'e actually got there at last

I have a dwarf Lilac in a planter (unnamed variety purchased from B&Q two years ago but I think it's a dwarf Korean lilac Syringa meyeri Palibin).



Just taken the above as it's currently flowering.

NB : Although it says 'dwarf' it actually grows to about 5 ft tall and wide.

 

Don't make wine from it, Elkie Brooks was trying to kill herself

 

Why do you go and spoil everything? It was a nice, pleasant little thread and then you trash through it with hob-nailed boots on !!!

 

Didn't mean to, its still a lovely thread

 

Only joking - you're forgiven. I would forgive anyone anything tonight. Been able to get out and garden at last !!:doggiesmz:

 

Phew, just alway thought it was an iresponsable song, saying she'd made wine from the Lilac tree.

My foot is nearly better, so I can get out and garden too soon

 

Goooood! No lilac wine or petal juice until your back to proper rights tho'

 

Thanks Jenny and Merleworld, you've made my daughter-in-law's day. She'll now have to search the internet, American style.

I'm glad I've made your day too Jenny.
