Syringa vulgaris 'Charles Joly' | Charles Joly Lilac

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Syringa vulgaris ‘Charles Joly’ is a common lilac with fragrant, fully double blooms that open in mid to late spring. Deep wine-purple buds expand into dense panicles of reddish-purple flowers, often lasting well for cutting. Heart-shaped green leaves follow and form a leafy backdrop through summer. Fragrance is strongest on calm spring evenings.

Introduced in 1896 by the French breeder Victor Lemoine of Nancy, ‘Charles Joly’ remains a staple in classic lilac collections. Upright branching carries the flower clusters above the foliage, and the bloom is visited by spring pollinators. It fits well in borders, informal screens, and planting near patios or walks where the perfume can be enjoyed.
