I have been given a Syringa (var.Katherine Havemeyer) by my daughter that I
really can't find a place for in my garden at the mo'.

Any idea whether It would survive and/or thrive in a 12" wide by 8" deep
pot?

You see, if potted, it *would* fit into a spot on my patio where it would
receive full sun but provide a bit of shade to those sitting out, enjoying a
Pimms or several in the summer.
