      • They are SO fragrant! They are popular with people from Texas and Oklahoma, but there are some here too because so many Okies came here during the Dust Bowl. French hybrids were marketed here in the 1990s or a bit earlier as lilacs that would perform well after the mild winters here. However, I can remember common lilacs blooming very nicely long before the French hybrids arrived. They even do well on the coast in Southern California. I remember adding several to a home in Malibu.
