There are few flowers as beautiful and aromatic as lilacs. lilacs have a strong scent that carries quite a distance. because they bloom for only a very brief couple weeks in the spring its best to grow a variety of lilacs, including, early, mid and late varieties. to a certain extent though the weather will have a lot to do with how long your blooms last. :wink:

I grew up with lilacs. We the back of the house, about 120 feet had a lilac jungle! It was so tall and big, we used to play "house" under the branches.

The scent in late May, early June would spread to great distances, and we knew we were getting close to home...
