Lilac Standard Is Great for Topiary Gardens.

Looking for a pretty addition to your garden that can be easily shaped? Lilac Standard is a great choice. There are multiple cultivars to choose from, but on each one, a tall stem gives way to a round cluster of leaves and flowers on top that bloom beautifully in the spring (and the shapely green leaves look great during the rest of the growing season!). Bonus? Lilac Standard does not require much pruning to maintain its topiary shape. It prefers full sun and is hardy in Zones 4 – 8.
