Deciduous Trees and Shrubs

Syringa Blue Hyacinth is a beautiful deciduous lilac prized for its early flowering and wonderfully fragrant blooms. Opening one to two weeks before most common lilacs, it welcomes spring with clusters of rich purple-pink buds that unfurl into soft mauve-blue flowers, their cool tones appearing almost blue in the crisp light of the season. This long-lived ornamental shrub forms an attractive upright habit, complemented by fresh green, heart-shaped foliage that may develop warm bronze tones in autumn. The sweetly scented flowers are a magnet for bees and butterflies, while also making exceptional cut blooms for filling the home with their classic lilac perfume.

Soil: Well-drained soil. They dislike waterlogged conditions.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Cold hardy.
Size: Height 2m x width 2m 

One of the smallest and latest flowering magnolias, Magnolia Royal Star is a charming, slow-growing deciduous shrub with a naturally spreading, rounded habit. New foliage emerges with a soft bronze tint, maturing to a deep, glossy green before turning warm shades of yellow to copper in autumn. In early spring, masses of fragrant, star-shaped white flowers—around 10 cm across—burst from furry grey buds, creating a striking display on bare branches. Ideal for informal hedging, woodland-style plantings, courtyards, and patio gardens, Royal Star is perfectly suited to smaller spaces. Prune lightly at planting to encourage bushier, vigorous new growth.

Soil: Plant in a well drained and well worked soil. 
Conditions: Prefers full sun but will tolerate a partially shady location. Shelter from wind to protect flowers.
Size: Height 2.5m x width 2m
