Syringa vulgaris - 'Monge' French Lilac - 2 Gallon Potted ShrubSyringea vulgaris 'Monge" (Lilac) is an upright, deciduous shrub with incredibly showy panicles, 9 in. long (22cm), packed with wonderfully fragrant, single, reddish purple flowers. Blooming in late spring, the abundant blossoms last 3 4 weeks and make a dramatic display. The flowers are held on long stems that lend themselves to great cut flowers. The erect, open branches are clothed in blue green, heart shaped leaves that remain attractive in summer.
