Syringa vulgaris 'Prince Wolkonsky'
Common lilac
Among the darkest of the double lilacs, 'Prince Wolkonsky' opens deep red flowers packed into upright panicles. The heart-shaped green leaves are deciduous and give the shrub a calm, plain background for the bloom. Best in full sun on free-draining ground.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
