The
hairless leaves, like the erect branches, occur opposite each other.
This species of lilac, Syringa vulgaris, produces suckers - new
shoots which sprout from the base of the shrub, or from the roots.
The flower color should be a pale to medium purple. In North American
gardens, this is a very hardy shrub. Lilacs can withstand severely
cold winters (even -35 degrees C) and in fact the species does not
grow well in areas without significant frost in wintertime. However,
they can't tolerate poorly drained (wet) soils, and don't like to
be shaded or crowded by other shrubs and trees.
