Plant Features

Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants according to their mature size, typically 3-6 feet apart depending on the variety

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0, though varies by species
  • - Prefers well-drained soil with organic matter for most bush varieties

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water thoroughly when first planted, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
  • - Once established, most bushes are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during dry spells

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms or fruit

Pruning and Training:

  • - Prune in late winter or early spring to control size and shape, depending on the bush variety
  • - Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to promote healthy growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Most bushes are pest-resistant, though monitor for aphids, mites, or scale insects depending on the species
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues in dense growth

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Bloom times and colors vary by variety, with many bushes producing flowers from spring to summer

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, depending on the specific bush variety, with many tolerating heat and cold once established

Companion Plants for Bushes:

  • - Perennials: Pair well with most bushes for year-round garden interest
  • - Ground Covers: Offer low-growing companions that complement the height of bush varieties
  • - Flowering Vines: Add vertical interest when trained alongside taller bushes
  • - Herbs: Provide both culinary value and garden diversity when planted near bushes
  • - Annual Flowers: Brighten garden spaces with seasonal color around bush varieties

Beautiful plant- NOT DEER RESISTANT

As with most of the plants I have ordered from GrowJoy, this lilac arrived in perfect condition. Unfortunately, I believed GJ when they said lilacs were deer resistant & didn’t take proper precautions when I left the pot on my patio table one night & found the majority of it gone the next morning. It’s healthy enough that I expect it to bounce back & I take full responsibility for not understanding that deer do not read the directions on gardening websites. But don’t make my mistake: 98% of “deer resistant” plants are on their menu.

Lilacs

Everything I get from Grow Joy has looked healthy. And as always packaged well, and the boxes even have some ventilation.

Love this reblooming lilac!

I purchased this variety after the blooming season was over with last year so I wanted to wait for a review till it bloomed this season. Wow, I absolutely loved how it beautifully it bloomed throughout the year. No more one and done with this one. Thanks GrowJoy.

Excellent healthy quality Lilac plant

Very surprised when arrived. Packing was perfect and plant size fantastic. My baby Lilac was bigger than expected and all leaves bounced back quickly after opening. Be assured that this site will send you quality plants.
