The Pekin lilac is an extremely hardy shrub and can be used as a specimen, in a border, in a container or above-ground planter, and near a deck or patio. It also works well as a street tree, in a sidewalk cutout, in a parking lot island, as a buffer strip, or along a highway.

A native of northern China, it is also known as the Chinese lilac. There are 24 species of lilacs, two come from Europe and others from Asia. The oldest living lilacs in North America are believed to have been planted at the Governor Wentworth estate in Portsmouth, NH, around 1750.
