Lilacs come in a variety of colors, including white, violet, pink, blue, lilac (light purple), red-purple, dark purple, and even yellow.
Lilacs are known for their beautiful and fragrant blooms, and the range of colors they offer makes them a popular choice for gardens and landscaping. While lilac is the color most associated with the plant, the actual spectrum is quite diverse. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- White: Pure white lilacs offer a clean and elegant look.
- Violet: True violet shades are less common but highly sought after.
- Pink: Soft pink shades provide a gentle and romantic feel.
- Blue: Blue lilacs have a cool and calming presence. Note that "blue" lilacs are often more of a lavender or pale purple with blue undertones.
- Lilac: The classic light purple shade is the most recognizable lilac color.
- Red-Purple: Deeper, richer shades of red-purple add a dramatic touch.
- Dark Purple: These varieties have an intense, almost black-purple hue.
- Yellow: The "Primrose" lilac is a unique variety with yellow flowers.
- Bicolor: Some lilac varieties, like "Sensation," feature picotee flowers, meaning they have one color with edges of another, such as white edges on red-purple.
The specific colors and shades can vary based on the variety of lilac, growing conditions, and even the age of the flower.
