My Favorite is a beloved French hybrid lilac known for its abundant, sweetly fragrant blooms and dependable spring performance. In mid‑spring, it produces large, upright panicles of double flowers in soft lavender‑pink shades that often lightens toward the petal edges, creating an elegant and layered floral display. The rich fragrance is classic lilac—strong and sweet—and makes excellent cut flowers.
This vigorous, upright shrub typically reaches 8 to 10 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide, forming a full, rounded habit. Like other common lilacs, My Favorite thrives in full sun and well‑drained soil and benefits from light pruning immediately after flowering to encourage vigorous bloom the following year. It is cold‑hardy and long‑lived, making it a reliable cornerstone in traditional and cottage‑style gardens.
