The French Hybrid Lilac, also known as Syringa ‘President Grevy,’ is a large, upright lilac variety prized for its fragrant, double blue flowers that bloom in late spring.

Its highly fragrant blooms attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a standout in any garden.
Foliage: Deep green, heart-shaped leaves provide an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season. The dense foliage enhances the plant’s structural appeal, even when not in bloom.
