Lilac shrubs can be a great addition to any garden. They can serve several purposes in any landscape situation. Lilac shrubs will provide protection to small animals and give homes to birds. Tightly grown lilac shrubs will keep unwanted pests, such as rabbits out of a garden. Lilac shrubs grown tall can make a wonderful privacy fence. The beautiful and fragrant blooms of lilac shrubs will provide color and fragrance to a garden for most of the spring months and often well into summer as well.

Small, compact lilac shrubs give protection to animals such as squirrels and rabbits. The animals will build nests inside the protection of lilac shrubs. Taller lilac shrubs will provide the right amount of protection for a bird’s nest. Low growing dense lilac shrubs can act as a fence, keeping animals out of the garden. Lilac shrubs look nicer and will usually outlast a fence.
