Montaigne Lilac, Syringa vulgaris 'Montaigne', is an upright growing, French Hybrid Lilac with double, soft lilac-pink flowers in May. It displays an excellent, clean, dark green summer foliage. This strong, long lived, early flowering shrub prefers full sun, good drainage and air circulation. If one removes flowers as they fade, as well as older wood and suckers, it will improve the plants appearance and flower production. Montaigne can be used in many situations, including shrub borders, informal hedges and perennial borders. It is a good bloomer and grows 10-12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide. Being very showy and extremely fragrant, it makes a wonderful screen or border specimen. ... more info
