Closely related to collina, (Halda lumped collina into sericea but I doubt if anyone will take it seriously I agree with Robin that the two are distinct and the Turkish forms are quite different from the Cretan ones) the heads of sweetly scented lilac flowers, are produced in spring and it generally reblooms later in the summer, in the garden it will make neat rounded mounds 2-3' in height.
