With its strongly erect branches carrying extra-large flowers, Syringa patens 'Violet Uprising' makes an impressive display in narrow spaces or planted as a floral hedge. The added bonus of fabulous fragrance and rich autumn colour means this lilac really earns its place in the garden.
In early summer, Syringa patens 'Violet Uprising' explodes into large, upright panicles of violet flowers. Each impressive panicle is around a foot long (30cm) and carries a sweet perfume, luring bees and butterflies to its extra-sized blooms that cover the shrub so densely you can barely see the foliage peeping through. Harvest some of the flowers for cutting and pop them into a vase, letting the gorgeous scent drift through your house. When flowering has finished, Syringa patens 'Violet Uprising' offers a further surprise – as nights cool in autumn the foliage turns to rich purple tones, adding valuable interest late in the season.
A vigorous selection, Syringa patens 'Violet Uprising' is also more resistant to diseases such as root rot and powdery mildew. Its robust nature and erect form make it a great choice for floral hedging or as a strong focal point in a border. Height: 1.2-1.8m (4-6ft). Spread: 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft).
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
