The huge flower clusters are made up of lavender-blue double florets and cover the plant in spring several weeks earlier than the common Lilac.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Lilacs are generally very easy care shrubs. Plant them in full sun in moist, well drained soil. Lilacs do not like wet sites especially in the winter. Pruning should be done after spring bloom. Pruning will keep the shrub dense and well shaped and increase the amount of flowers. This lilac  is mildew resistant.
