Your enemy is never a villain in his own eyes. Keep this in mind; it may offer a way to make him your friend. If not, you can kill him without hate — and quickly.

Robert A. Heinlein

Lilacs

As a group the lilacs are shrubs ranging from a few feet to just over gutter height. They are noted for their huge clumps of tiny flowers in spring.

This is an easy care shrub, good for informal hedges and as a row in shelterbelts.

Some species sucker with a certain enthusiasm. Suckers mow easily when small. Plant in the lawn, rather than as a backing to to a flower bed.
