This upright, compact lilac blooms later than others, extending the season with deep purple buds that reveal clusters of highly fragrant, lavender-blue flowers. Foliage is burgundy-tinged in fall. Hardy with excellent powdery mildew resistance. Great for border accent or mass planting. The smaller size makes it the perfect plant to border a walkway or patio. However, you use it in the yard, plant it where you can enjoy it. Don't forget to cut armloads and bring them indoors to enjoy in your cut flower arrangements. That way you can enjoy the blooms and fragrance anywhere! It brings butterflies and hummingbirds who love the easy access to the delicious nectar. Shows tolerance to urban pollution and can even tolerate road salt. Deer resistant.
