Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

Lilacs (Syringa) are exceptionally hardy, thriving in temperate zones with distinct winters, like Armenia and much of the US (USDA zones 3-7). They require a chilling period for optimal flowering. Wisteria, while also beautiful, prefers warmer climates (USDA zones 5-9), needing ample sun and good drainage. Its performance in cooler, wetter regions like Scotland can be more challenging, often requiring sheltered spots to flourish and flower profusely.
