Abstract

The article presents the results of a comparative introduction study and cultivar evaluation of 7 of common lilac cultivars in the collections of three botanical gardens (the Nikita Botanical Gardens, the Central Siberian Botanical Garden and the Donetsk Botanical Garden) located in zones with conditionally subtropical, temperate continental and continental climate. It is established that the cultivars retain their decorative features in the conditions of introduction and show ecological plasticity, increasing their growing season with an increase in the vegetation period, as well as reducing the area of the leaf blade with a decrease in the average annual precipitation.

Highlights

Nikita Botanical Gardens (NBG) is located on the Southern Coast of the Crimea (SCC) in a zone with a conditionally subtropical Mediterranean climate [1]
The species Syringa vulgaris L. was introduced to the NBG in 1813, and its forms and cultivars were introduced, as well as other species of the genus Syringa
The formation of the collection of the genus Syringa in the Donetsk Botanical Garden (DBG) was started in 1970, when about 100 S. vulgaris bushes were planted in the arboretum in the collection of the Oleaceae family, and other species of the genus were planted in the following years

Summary

Introduction

Nikita Botanical Gardens (NBG) is located on the Southern Coast of the Crimea (SCC) in a zone with a conditionally subtropical Mediterranean climate [1]. In 1986, Laboratory of dendrology at the CSBG started of introduction work with S. vulgaris cultivars in order to create a collection of the most promising cultivars for the continental climate of the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia.
