MONGE COMON LILAC

Syringa vulgaris 'Monge' is commonly referred to as Monge Lilac or Monge French Lilac. This Lemoine French lilac was first introduced back in 1913. It is an old favorite with an upright habit and showy panicles of very fragrant, single, reddish-purple flowers in April and May. The blooms last 3-4 weeks and are held on long, sturdy stems with blue-green heart-shaped leaves.

The classic Monge French Lilac is a reliable performer that loves the sun. It also enjoys rich, fertile, humus, rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can tolerate some shade, but produces more flowers in full sun. Butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers and deer usually leave it alone. It is ideal in mixed shrub borders and foundation plantings.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: ensure a spot in full sun with fertile, well-draining soil to support the intense, deep purple-red color of this single-flowered lilac. Keep the root zone moist but not waterlogged during the establishment phase and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth. Because this cultivar flowers on old wood, refrain from late-winter or early-spring pruning; perform any desired structural adjustments immediately after the flowers fade in late spring.
