RE: Gardenjournal: on clearing invasives, managing weeds and other spring preparations

Thanks a lot!
Lilac is a unique air purifier!
In Russia, lilacs are planted in almost all yards or near houses in order to purify the air.
And, of course, because of the flavor.

Ok, I think the common name of the plant tricked you. Syringa is not Lilac, I have seen the pictures that many Russians post of what they call Lilacs and it's not what I have at home. My trees are awful weeds, called Melia azedarach. Your Lilacs are Syringa vulgaris

Thanks for the explanation!
Yes, I mistook her for a lilac which is in Russia 🤭

Russian Lilacs are beautiful but I have no idea how to grow them 🤔 Perhaps they need a lot of water in Summer and dislike the heat

Russian Lilacs has medicinal leaves.
When I can fly (because of the sanctions), I can find out and bring her seeds for you.
