What's In Season: (Syringa Vulgaris)

Lilacs are a classic Midwest favorite that thrive in our climate and fill the air with extremely fragrant blooms in light purple, white, and many newer colors. Modern cultivars offer fresh color options, improved disease resistance, and more compact growth habits.

These dense, rounded shrubs are easy to grow and hardy through cold winters, which is why they have remained beloved for generations. Some varieties date back to the early 1900s and continue to be popular in gardens today.

Lilacs attract butterflies and people alike and make beautiful additions to shrub borders or grouped plantings. The Old Fashioned Lilac, known for its strong fragrance and traditional light purple flowers, can be found at Queeny Park. If you are interested in a true Missouri native alternative, Fringe Tree and American Smoketree offer similar appeal.

Keep an eye out for these wonderfully fragrant shrubs in our parks this season.
