'Lilac' or 'Common lilac' is the common name for Syringa vulgaris.

The shrub has temperamental roots that prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soils. This preference for moisture may be accompanied by problems with powdery mildew despite the plant's preference for full sun and aversion to waterlogging. The shrub also has luscious, dark green leaves that may attract voracious aphids.

But the shrub's fragrant, colorful blooms aren't at all problematic. Indeed, they're an important nectar source for the Monarch butterfly [Danaus plexippus].
