If there’s one tree known for its scent, it has to be a lilac and the Lilac ‘Palibin’ Standard features in You Garden’s offers this week.
Imagine a lilac that doesn’t take over your garden but still delivers that unmistakable, heady fragrance and clouds of pretty blooms each spring. That’s exactly what you get with this dwarf standard ‘Palibin’.
The beautifully fragrant, gorgeous colour and double flowering species brings charm to any garden, big or small. Compact and neatly trained with a single straight stem and a lollipop-style head it bursts into flower with masses of delicate, pale purple blooms from May.
The scent? Simply gorgeous, it’s sweet, nostalgic and enough to stop you in your tracks.
But the real magic of ‘Palibin’ is its manageability. Unlike traditional lilacs, which can grow into unruly giants, this one stays neat and tidy, maxing out at around 2m tall. It even delivers a second flush of blooms later in summer, especially if deadheaded after the first display.
This variety is a favourite with pollinators, too. Bees and butterflies absolutely love it, and it’s tough as old boots, shrugging off frost and coping well in UK conditions. It also boasts the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you know it’s been tested and proven by experts.
It’s easy to grow, reliable year after year, and brings a touch of old-fashioned charm into the modern garden.
