The Story
Betsy Ross Lilac brings classic fragrant beauty to the spring garden with clusters of purple blooms that perfume the air and draw butterflies in abundance. Growing to 9โ15 feet with a graceful mounding form, it makes a striking specimen or informal hedge in full sun. Deep green foliage holds through the season, then transitions to warm copper-bronze tones in autumn. Like all great lilacs, it thrives in well-drained soils and delivers season after season with very little fuss. Deer, rabbits, and most pests give it a wide berth, making it one of the most carefree shrubs you can plant. It also tolerates Black Walnut, so it plays well in gardens where that can be a limitation. A timeless choice for anyone who loves the scent of a true spring garden.
