Syringa vulgaris ‘Charles Joly’

Syringa vulgaris ‘Charles Joly’ is a deciduous shrub prized for its striking, double magenta-purple flowers that bloom in late spring. The blooms are highly fragrant and attract pollinators, making it a delightful addition to any garden. Growing up to 3-4 meters in height and width, this lilac variety is well-suited to temperate regions of Australia where it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.

‘Charles Joly’ is ideal for use as a hedge, in mixed borders, or as a standalone feature plant. To encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms, it benefits from regular pruning after flowering and can tolerate cold winters, which enhance its flowering in the spring. This variety is popular for its bold colour, sweet fragrance, and ability to bring a touch of classic elegance to Australian gardens.
