Syringa
x hyacinthiflora Excel has performed quite well in our
gardens. The Lilac Excel can grow to 10 feet and spread
to 6-8 feet or more. Syringa Excel grows in full sun and was
selected for its heat tolerance and early blooming. Syringa Excel blooms from the late Winter
through Early Spring. The single purple flowered clusters are
a great show in the early season. The Lilac Excel prefers regular water and
good drainage, but has persisted in gardens near the coast and inland
valleys without supplemental irrigation and still bloomed
gloriously. Syringa Excel is one of the Descanso Hybrid
Lilac's bred to bloom in low chill gardens in California.
Syringa Excel is Winter hardy to zone 3
