Lilac is a shrub from the olive family with beautiful purple flowers. It is grown as an ornamental plant, also because of its beautiful scent. The shrubs that reach up to seven meters run wild easily, so you can come across them not only in parks and private gardens, but also in clearings or forests. Lilac blooms at the beginning of May and its magnificent inflorescences can be safely cut and stay fresh in the vase for a long time. Contrary to common nomenclature, lilac from the Balkan Peninsula has not much in common with the wild lilac.
