Syringa josikaea capsule, splitting in two to release the two winged seeds. Growing conditions allow for cool to temperate climate and are fully frost hardy. The plant also grows in full sun to semi shade. Despite its continental European origin, it has proved to be surprisingly successful when cultivated in the oceanic extremes of northwestern Europe on the Faroe Islands and in arctic northern Norway north to Kirkenes. It has hybridised in cultivation with the closely related "Syringa komarowii" from China; the hybrid is named "Syringa × josiflexa". Syringa josikaea Syringa josikaea, the Hungarian lilac, is a species of lilac, native to
1104 Syringa Calvin–Rehoboth Observatory in New Mexico, United States. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 5.1547 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.27 magnitude (). According to the surveys carried out by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite IRAS, the Japanese Akari satellite and the NEOWISE mission of NASA's WISE telescope, "Syringa" measures between 19.711 and 24.30 kilometers in diameter and its surface has a low albedo between 0.031 and 0.045. The "Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link" derives an albedo of 0.0434 and a diameter of 22.13 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 12.3. This minor planet was named after the genus
