A few years ago a lady I worked for had a dwaft Lilac that she kept in a pot, it was quite dainty. She sadly passed away so I was never able to asked her the name of it. Wonder if anyone would have any idea, I do not have a photo of it. Many thanks.

Mine is Syringa Palibin - lovely fragrance and plenty of blooms . . . I think it is the most common one. Try Googling it and see if it matches.

Palibin often reblooms in the late summer/autumn, which is nice.

Some of the dwarf ones have very meagre flowers so don't just buy one without seeing the flowers.
