- White: Pure white lilacs provide a classic, elegant look. An example is the Syringa vulgaris 'Mme Lemoine'.
- Violet: Violet lilacs offer a rich, vibrant hue. Syringa vulgaris 'Cavour' is a good example.
- Blue: Blue lilacs are highly sought after and offer a cooler tone. Look for varieties like Syringa vulgaris 'Nadezhda'.
- Lilac: As the name suggests, lilac-colored lilacs provide the quintessential light purple shade. Consider Syringa vulgaris 'Hippolyte Maringer'.
- Pink: Pink lilacs add a touch of softness and charm to any garden. Syringa vulgaris 'Macrostachya' is a pink variety.
- Magenta: Magenta lilacs introduce a bolder, more intense pink-purple hue.
- Purple: Deep purple lilacs offer a dramatic and regal appearance.
The specific shade can vary based on factors such as soil pH, sunlight exposure, and cultivar. When choosing lilacs, consider the overall color scheme of your garden and select varieties that complement each other.
