Try looking for something called "vitex". Lots of them blooming around
Austin right now. These things get huge, my mom used to have some that
were 10-12' tall.

There is something referred to as a "Texas Lilac". Forgot the real name. Not

I don't think lilacs do well here in Central Texas, that's probably why
you don't see them for sale.



We had a dwarf lilac for several years that grew okay the first 4-5
years then it croaked this last winter. I agree that this climate will
be a stretch for those heat hating plants.
