Beautiful in looks and fragrance, Conga adds a distinctive flair to the cutting garden. Fragrant flower heads start the season in vibrant red, then turn a lovely purple as they mature. Plant this beautiful specimen near a window or entrance so that you can enjoy the entirety of its wonderful show. In addition to its colorful display this French lilac exudes a sweet, classic perfume that marks the season wonderfully. Attractive to bees, butterflies, and birds, Conga grows to an impressive 8 to ten feet in height, with a wider spread. This flowering shrub is a good choice for planting in borders, as a hedge, or for privacy screens. Syringa vulgaris 'Conga'
