How can I use Syringa ‘Nadezhda’ in my garden?
The exquisite fragrance and attractive color make it wonderful to use just about anywhere. It is ideal for beds and borders, near high profile places like doorways, pathways, around steps, and especially near seating areas like patios, decks, and swimming pools, or in sheltered corners where the delicious natural scent can waft and swirl to sweeten the air. They are effective as informal flowering hedges and screens, or placing in the middle of shrub and mixed borders where they can be used as a colorful accent plant or background. They can be used as single specimens in lawns, or grouped in masses on banks and sloping sites. Since deer do not prefer to browse on them, they are useful in areas where deer are a problem. They are hardy and quick to establish, making them ideal for placing in new gardens among other slower to mature species. They last well as cut flowers, and a few stems placed in a vase or arrangement is a great way to enjoy the heavenly perfume indoors.
