Lilacs, Syringa, are classic garden shrubs and small trees bearing panicles of fragrant, tubular flowers in late-spring to early summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting and work well in spring bouquets, and are popular with insects.

Syringa vulgaris 'Primrose' bears white flowers that mature to cream-yellow and have an exceptional lilac scent. A large lilac, it’s most suitable for growing at the back of a mixed herbaceous border.

Grow Syringa vulgaris ‘Primrose’ in moist but well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil in full sun. Remove spent flowers in summer and mulch annually in spring. Prune lightly in late winter, remembering that most species bear flowers on the previous year’s growth.
