Sorry, Syringa meyeri is a smaller kind of Lilac which grows to about 2 metres tall and across, quite slowly. There are a couple of forms of it which I know off, Palabini and Miss Kim. there may be others.
From what I can see this is a normal sized Lilac, but I cannot find any information on its colour, eventual height etc. It is only mentioned on one Dutch site with no information on it.

thank you so much for all your help,i've looked up the types you mention,and am pleased with the size and colour.So hopefully a good buy.

I think you may have misunderstood me. Your Syringa Miss Elly is probably NOT one of the small types, as far as I can find out. They will grow into large shrubs.

Hi, where should Iplant out my ornamental cabbages? Thanks Donna »
Don't know the specific form but yes they are Lilac and unless Syringa meyeri forms, then potentially they are very large shrubs.
