Royal Purple Lilac is a classic landscape selection grown for its bold clusters of deeply fragrant, rich purple blooms that herald spring with an unmistakable and beloved perfume. Growing 9–15 feet with a graceful mounding form, it makes a beautiful specimen, informal hedge, or back-of-border anchor in full sun. Butterflies flock to the blooms, and birds find shelter in the dense foliage through the summer season. Green leaves hold cleanly through the growing season, providing a handsome neutral backdrop long after the flowers have faded. Fully resistant to deer, rabbits, insects, and disease, it’s a carefree, lasting choice for any sun-drenched garden spot. A timeless shrub that earns its iconic status with an incomparable spring fragrance show year after year.
