Syringa 'Palibin' standard 90-120cm 3L pot

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’.

This compact lilac tree is neatly trained with a single straight stem and a lollipop-style head that 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 even 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.

Supplied as a grafted standard tree, approx. 90-120cm tall in a 3 litre pot, ready to plant.
