"You said you love lilac flowers most, because your name is her, what a melancholic flower" Do you still remember that lilac song? Lilac flowers are not delicate at all; they are pure and beautiful, fragrant and elegant. When they bloom in spring, the large and gorgeous flower clusters cover the whole plant, giving an excellent ornamental effect.

Other names for lilac

Lilac flower, Baijie, Qingke, Longshaozi, North China lilac, Zidingbai.

Lilac growing habits

Lilac mainly grows on hillside thickets, beside mountain streams, along valley roadsides, and by the water on floodplains. It is widely distributed north of the Yangtze River in China.

Lilac likes a warm, humid environment with plenty of sunlight, and most varieties are fairly cold-hardy. After leaf drop, it can be transplanted bare-root and planted in fertile, loose soil.

Lilac needs plenty of sunlight to grow; in semi-shade it grows weakly and blooms less.

The flower language of lilac

The flower language of lilac is radiance. Lilac is called the flower of heaven, perhaps because of its noble fragrance, and it has been treasured since ancient times.

People blessed by lilac have a radiant life. Because they are too clever, they have a habit of liking shortcuts, and on the path of pursuing rationality, they always tend to go astray and forget the ultimate goal.
