Shrubs with mauve flowers (6)

I believe the answer is:

lilacs

(Other definitions for lilacs that I've seen before include "Purple flowers" , "Large fragrant flowers of white and mauve" , "''We'll gather ... in the the spring'' (Ivor Novello song)" , "Whitman topic" , "trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
