Insights
Californian lilac, as its name suggests, has its roots in North America. It is a fast growing shrub and while it is not famous for being long-lived (around a decade) the late spring display more than justifies its presence in the garden. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
