Syringa vulgaris ‘Madame Florent Stepman'(Lilac ‘Madame Florent Stepman’)

Syringa vulgaris ‘Madame Florent Stepman'(Lilac ‘Madame Florent Stepman’) is a leggy, suckering, deciduous shrub, somewhat irregular in shape. Leaves are medium green, ovate to heart-shaped, up to 5 inches long. Flowers of Mme. Florent Stepman are white, single, borne on large, 10 inch long panicles. This species is the common lilac, also referred to as French lilac, that most of us are familiar with; extremely fragrant flowers appearing in late spring to early summer.

Prefers a neutral soil, with peat or leaf mold enrichment. The following years’ flower buds are produced by midsummer, so if pruning is necessary, do so before July. Native to eastern Europe, cultivated since 1563. Over 400 cultivars have been developed.

More information about Syringa vulgaris 

Syringa vulgaris is a large deciduous shrub or multistemmed small tree, growing to 6–7 m (20–23 ft) high. It produces secondary shoots from the base or roots, with stem diameters up to 20 cm (8 in), which in the course of decades may produce a small clonal thicket. The bark is grey to grey-brown, smooth on young stems, longitudinally furrowed, and flaking on older stems. The leaves are simple, 4–12 cm (2–5 in) and 3–8 cm broad, light green to glaucous, oval to cordate, with pinnate leaf venation, a mucronate apex, and an entire margin. They are arranged in opposite pairs or occasionally in whorls of three. The flowers have a tubular base to the corolla 6–10 mm long with an open four-lobed apex 5–8 mm across, usually lilac to mauve, occasionally white. They are arranged in dense, terminal panicles 8–18 cm (3–7 in) long. The fruit is a dry, smooth, brown capsule, 1–2 cm long, splitting in two to release the two-winged seeds.
