Description
Syringa meyeri 'Little Rosie' is appreciated for its small size and its generous bright pink flowering. It forms a bushy and upright, compact shrub. Its dark green leaves turn yellow in autumn. In May-June and again in late summer, it is covered with clusters of remarkably fragrant and nectar-rich flowers. Perfect for small gardens, 'Little Rosie' lilac can also be grown in a pot on the terrace or balcony. It is a very hardy plant that requires little care, ideal for beginner gardeners.
From the Oleaceae family, Syringa meyeri is native to northern and western China, although it has never been found in the wild. 'Little Rosie' is a Dutch creation by André van Vijnatten dating back to 2008. However, it has only been on the market for a very short time. It is distinguished by its slower growth and reduced development. This lilac naturally forms an upright, well-branched bush, reaching 1 to 1.25 m in all directions. This variety blooms from a young age, and generously in May-June, or even as early as April depending on the region. Its inflorescences, composed of small single flowers, are dark pink and grouped in clusters at the ends of the previous year's shoots. Following this first flowering, clusters bloom again more sporadically throughout the summer and into autumn, at the ends of the current year's branches. Its fragrant flowering attracts butterflies and pollinating insects. Its dark green leaves measure 4 to 5 cm long and 2 to 3 cm wide. They turn yellow in autumn before falling.
This small lilac is perfectly hardy and easy to grow, adapting to all styles of gardens and terraces. It also grows well in a pot. Place it near a passageway to enjoy its powerful spring fragrance. It will work well in a flowerbed alongside other spring-flowering shrubs such as 'Jet Trail' Japanese quince with white flowers and 'Perle Rose' Deutzia with pink-tinted flowers. Its deliciously fragrant flower clusters are lovely in bouquets, combined with Garden Iris and Peonies.

Planting and care
Syringa meyeri 'Little Rosie' tolerates any ordinary soil, with a preference for rich, well-drained, deep, loose, and not too dry soils. You can apply a complete fertiliser every year at the start of growth. Plant your lilac in full sun, or light shade in a warm climate. Its flowering is better when it receives maximum light and when winters are well contrasted. It is a hardy plant that requires little care. Remove faded inflorescences after flowering to avoid fruiting, which is uninteresting and depletes the plant. This will promote a late summer regrowth and a more abundant flowering the following year. Pruning is not essential on this naturally compact variety. If necessary, prune within 1 to 2 months following flowering to allow your lilac to produce new shoots during the summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
