Syringa meyeri 'Red Pixie'

Syringa meyeri 'Red Pixie' - small variety with compact growth in the form of a thick bush that reaches a height of approximately 150 cm.

Unlike the well-known/common lilac in Romania ( Syringa josikaea or Hungarian lilac), this variety blooms much more abundantly, the entire bush being practically covered with flowers.

The flowers are smaller but appear in much larger numbers, and the contrast between the unopened buds and the open flowers is quite strong. The perfume is also delightful - sweet, strong, with specific floral notes.

This variety tends to rebloom freely during the summer.

Optimal location. The plant loves the direct sun - this aspect also contributes to the abundance of flowering, but the plant also adapts to partially shaded areas. Periodic irrigation is necessary in the first year after planting - until it develops a strong root system. It tolerates poor soils/lacking nutrients well. It can be fertilized with any generic fertilizer. Very resistant variety - it is not significantly affected by diseases or pests.

Height with pots included: approx. 40-60 cm (depending on the season and horticultural works)
Pot diameter: 19 cm
