Charles Joly is an upright deciduous shrub with showy panicles packed with amazingly fragrant, magenta, double flowers. Opening from purple buds in late spring, the abundant blossoms last 3-4 weeks and make a dramatic display. The erect, open branches are clothed in dark green, heart-shaped leaves that remain attractive in summer. A cultivar of a common lilac. This highly regarded French lilac is one of the most beloved lilacs. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds but is deer resistant.
