Arch McKean Lilac, Syringa vulgaris 'Arch McKean', has large, single, red-purple florets that are produced on very large upright blossoms. This plant blooms heavily in May and has a very nice fragrance. This lilac species is the common lilac, also referred to as French lilac,and exhibits extremely fragrant flowers on 4 to 8 inch dense panicles. It forms an upright shape with virtually no suckers and grows 8 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide. Arch McKean Lilac is a leggy, deciduous shrub, somewhat irregular in shape. It is an excellent choice for foundation plantings but also forms a good screen or informal hedge for property lines. It tolerates light shade, but best bloom quality and disease resistance occur in full sun. It prefers rich, moist, sandy loam soils. It should be pruned as needed by July.
