Known as the late lilac, this purple-pink flowering shrub is a showstopper! Less fragrant than the Common lilac, and doesn’t sucker! Prune after flowering to avoid removing this year’s blooms.
Butterflies are attracted to this low-maintenance shrub. Many clients prefer to interplant both Common and Villosa lilac to extend their blooming season. Tolerates many soil types but does not like standing water for long periods.
Seedling size is approximately 12” tall, 1 year old.
