This was as great year for the lilacs. The made it through the spring frost, and are really strong. There is a 6 bush hedge on both the south and the north side of yard. I love that they are medium sized, although I can’t take credit for that – I bought them at Home Depot and they were labeled: Lilac. so I have no idea what variety there actually are. I’m going to try to find out, because I’d like to add some more in several places in the garden – but only if I can find this medium sized variety – no monsters here.
