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

Liac Flowering Bush/Shrub?
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.
Reply:Lantana?
