Incredibly Fragrant!
Garden nostalgia! Everyone seems to have some memory of lilacs from their youth. This selection is the queen of lilacs when judged by fragrance. Tight buds open to large flower clusters of cool lavender-blue double florets. Syringa are classic multi-stemmed, deciduous shrubs. Long-lived and easy to grow, lilacs are more cold tolerant than they are heat tolerant.

Syringa General Information

Syringa hyacinthiflora is the queen of all lilacs when it comes to fragrance. Lilacs are long-lived and easy to grow. Very large flower clusters cover this deciduous shrub in spring. Unforgettable fragrance perfumes the garden. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Syringa Plant Care

Lilacs need full sun - no fewer than 6 hours a day and well-drained soil especially for winter. If pruning is desired, do so immediately after blooming. Blooms on old wood.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
