Description
Lilac 'Declaration' (Syringa x hyacinthiflora 'Declaration') brings bold color and sweet fragrance to smaller gardens, patios, and foundation plantings. Blooming in early spring, it produces 8–12″ long flower cones packed with intensely fragrant, reddish-purple blooms. Despite its more compact size—maturing at about 70% of traditional lilacs—'Declaration' makes a grand impact in any landscape.
Ideal for Zones 3–8, this deciduous shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s easy to grow, mostly pest-free, and resists mildew better than many older lilac types. Whether used as a focal point or grouped for extra impact, Lilac 'Declaration' brings all the beloved traits of classic lilacs in a space-saving form.
Each plant comes in a #5 (5 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.
