Syringa Persica Laciniata or Feathered Persian lilac is a vigorous little shrub, uncommon in our gardens and quite rare in nurseries, which comes to us from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Its originality lies in its very finely cut foliage (it is also sometimes called lilac with parsley leaves) and in its early flowering in tender mauve colors, very fragrant.
