About Syringa vulgaris ‘Aucubaefolia’ (variegated lilac)

‘Aucubaefolia’ is distinguished from other lilacs by its spotted leaves. The yellow markings on the leaves give the shrub a light and decorative character, similar to the leaf markings of aucuba, to which the name refers.

The shrub grows into a medium-sized, upright shrub with a broad crown. In spring, lilac flower panicles appear, rising above the leaves. After flowering, the variegated leaves remain an important ornamental feature until autumn, when they fall off.

Lilac grows best in a sunny to semi-shaded spot in well-drained, nutritious soil. Pruning can be carried out after flowering to maintain shape and keep the shrub compact.
