Why Choose Syringa for Your Garden?

Syringa plants are loved for their hardy nature and outstanding display of flowers. Whether you’re an avid gardener or just starting out, syringa thrives in our New Zealand climate with little fuss. These deciduous shrubs are not only easy to grow but are also long-lived, providing years of blooms and enjoyment. With their drought tolerance and adaptability to a range of soil types, syringa is an ideal choice for low-maintenance landscaping.

Our Favourite Syringa Varieties

The Syringa Congo (Congo Lilac) enchants with deep purple-red blooms and is perfect for making a bold statement in borders or mixed shrub beds.

How to Grow and Care for Syringa

Plant your syringa in a sunny location with well-draining soil. These shrubs love at least six hours of sunlight daily to ensure prolific flowering. Water regularly during dry spells, especially in the first few years as the plant establishes. Pruning after the flowers have faded will encourage healthy growth and plenty of blooms for the following season. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keeps weeds at bay.
