Imagine lilac trees that don’t take over your garden but still deliver that unmistakable, heady fragrance and clouds of pretty blooms each spring. That’s exactly what you get with these dwarf standard ‘Palibin’ trees.

These compact lilacs are neatly trained, each with a single straight stem and a lollipop-style head that bursts into flower with masses of delicate, pale purple blooms from May. The scent? Simply gorgeous, it’s sweet, nostalgic and enough to stop you in your tracks.

But the real magic of ‘Palibin’ is the manageability. Unlike traditional lilacs, which can grow into unruly giants, these stay neat and tidy, maxing out at around 2m tall. They even deliver a second flush of blooms later in summer, especially if deadheaded after the first display.

This variety is a favourite with pollinators, too. Bees and butterflies absolutely love them, and they’re tough as old boots, shrugging off frost and coping well in UK conditions. It even boasts the coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, so you know it’s been tested and proven by experts.

Easy to grow, reliable year after year, bringing a touch of old-fashioned charm into the modern garden.

Supplied as a pair of grafted 90-120cm tall trees in standard form.
