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.
