Lilac
The rocky hills of the southern Balkans
Reached Europe in the 16th century
Sweet and heady
First love & renewal
Native to the Balkan hillsides and carried into European gardens through the Ottoman court at Constantinople in the late 16th century, lilac became the herald of late spring. Its dense panicles bring soft volume and that unmistakable perfume to an arrangement, lending an Amicis bouquet a romantic, garden-gathered ease that few flowers match.
