Heavenly lilac

When they bloom magnificently in spring, lilacs lend colour and sophistication to gardens.

Lilacs can cope with temporary drought, however, in order to prevent the roots from drying out, it is necessary to water the shrub in time.

A single lilac shrub can bloom up to three times in a year.

The long-lived lilac bush is over 130 years old. The dates of its life are 1801-1931.

Lilacs belong to the olive family. The same group includes jasmine, ash and olive.

Do you want to hint to someone that feelings have faded? Send a lilac: In the East, it symbolises separation. And in England, such a bouquet was given to the groom as a sign of rejection of engagement.

The inhabitants of Sigulda, Latvia, definitely have good taste - it is not for nothing that lilacs are depicted on their coat of arms.
