Liac Flowering Bush/Shrub?

At my previous house I bought a plant with lovely lilac flowers on it, and planted it in ,my back garden. It grew enormous in just one summer and now I have moved I have looked all over for this same plant yet cannot find it anywhere. I am sure it began with the letter L, and it is not lilac or lavender. Can anyone help.


Thank you

Hard to tell without knowing what kind of flowers or what zone. I'm thinking maybe Rose of Sharon, or Hibiscus.





Also a Royal Empress tree could be made into a bush. They grow like weeds and have lilac flowers in the spring with a faint fregrance.





Angel trumpet is more viney but comes in lavender.





Hydrangea also comes in blueish purple as well as pink %26amp; white. They go dormant in winter.





I don't know the species names for these plants, maybe one of them starts with the letter "L". Good luck finding it. Can you go to your old house %26amp; take a clipping or picture to show to a garden shop? Are you living in the same zone? That might be why you can't find it at your new location.

Reply:If it had lilac flowers on it, then it was a lilac. They come as trees or shrubs. If you're saying that it had lilac-colored flowers on it, but not lilacs, then I'm lost.
