SYRINGA RED PIXIE FOR CUT FLOWERS
Syringa Red Pixie, a dwarf lilac, is growing healthily at the bottom of my (gently) sloping back garden, in a place where it is moist and receives sun for several hours in the morning. The fragrance is heady. I cut two flowers, just two, a small one and a larger one without much stem, and put them into a vase in my living room, and they filled my home with fragrance for a day or two. Wonderful.
