Description
Lilac Scentara Double Blue (Syringa vulgaris Hyacinthiflora Scentara) brings a fresh twist to a classic favorite with its lush, multi-petaled blooms that shift from cool purple to blue in the spring sunlight. Each blossom forms delicate, seashell-like petals that cover the shrub in elegant, fragrant clusters. A very heavy bloomer with outstanding disease resistance, this lilac variety adds striking color, scent, and charm to garden borders, foundation plantings, or mixed perennial beds.
Low-maintenance and cold-hardy down to Zone 2, Lilac Scentara Double Blue thrives in full sun (6–8+ hours daily) and prefers well-draining, alkaline soil. It's adaptable to a range of conditions, though it dislikes soggy winter soils. For best results, prune just after flowering. Reaching 6–8 feet tall and wide, this deer-resistant lilac makes a beautiful standalone statement or can be massed for a spectacular spring display.
Each plant comes in a #3 (3 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
