New Age Lavender Lilac

The New Age Lavender Lilac has everything there is to love about a lilac but in less space. This spectacular bloomer has a small size but still produces lovely full-size lavender flowers that grow in dense clusters. The Syringa vulgaris blooms in the spring and features tubular, star-shaped flowers. The petals curl back, adding dimension and revealing tiny yellow stamens. This deciduous shrub has bold green foliage that comes to a point. This cultivar has an upright growth habit and does not grow as large as other lilac varieties. At about 5 feet tall, it is an attractive option for gardeners with limited space. Use this shrub to create a hedge or border to better define outdoor areas. Plant this lilac where the fragrant blooms can be enjoyed, and the flowers can be trimmed to display inside.
