COMMON PURPLE LILAC 3gal

Glorious clusters of intensely fragrant, rich purple flowers that appear in abundance in mid-to-late spring, creating a stunning visual spectacle and releasing the sweet, iconic lilac perfume that we all adore. This upright, multi-stemmed shrub typically reaches a mature height and spread of 8 to 12 feet, making it a wonderful choice for hedges, screens, or as a fragrant focal point in your landscape.

Now, when it comes to sunshine, the Purple Lilac thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to ensure the best flower production and the most intense fragrance. While it can tolerate some light afternoon shade, a sunny location will result in the most spectacular spring display. And for those of you concerned about deer, you will be happy to know that lilacs are generally not a favorite snack for them.

To help your Purple Lilac flourish and produce those beautiful, fragrant blooms, I recommend planting it with Watters Premium Mulch. This will help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and provide a healthy root environment. In early spring, just as new growth begins, feed your lilac with Watters 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to encourage vigorous growth and an abundance of those classic purple blossoms.

Plant a Purple Lilac in your garden, and get ready to enjoy its stunning spring flowers and the sweet, nostalgic fragrance that makes it a garden favorite. It’s a timeless addition to any landscape! Happy growing!
