Sorry,
we do not sell fresh cut lilac flowers, check with a florist
for those. Also, we do not sell lilac seeds. We do sell
Lilac plants. Plants grown from cuttings only. {Lilac plants
grown from seeds can take ten years or more to bloom! } Seed
pods on lilac bushes are usually pruned off allowing the plants
energy to make new growth and set flower buds for the following
year |

The Lilac bush is a perennial
favorite. Spicy and sweet scented describes the mid season blooming
cultivars. Early Lilac bush plants also have that distinctive
scent. Late blooming varieties keep the fantasy alive a couple
more weeks. There are now hundreds of cultivars of Lilac bush
plants. No longer are they just a pretty shade of Lavender. Flowers
of White Lilacs glow and shades of pink have become popular as
have the darker purple lilacs and blues and red lilac bushes.
The flowers of the Syringa Vulgaris Lilacs and Hyacinthefolia
cultivars have the true old fashion Lilac bush scent.
Prestonia LIlac bush vanities have a flowery scent much like
a florist shop.
The Lilac bush is easy to care for.
Give it sun, a sweet soil and not too much water. Removing the
old blossoms right after the flowers go by will encourage the
lilac bush to make more flower buds for the next year.
Lilac bush plants are a delightful addition to your Spring flower
garden. Use the lilac blossoms as fresh cut flowers throughout
the house. As a perennial shrub the Lilac bush is very hardy
with most of the Vulgaris vanities cold hardy through zone 2.
On the warmer side most all Lilac bush plants do well through
zone 6. There are a few Lilac bush plants that will live and
bloom even into zone 8. The Hyacinthefolia varieties and Miss
Kim cultivar are said to be two of those that will produce
flowers in zones 7 & 8 as well as in the cooler zones.
The mature Lilac bush varies widely in size from dwarf cultivars
of only three feet to the large old fashioned Vulgaris types
that can reach fifteen feet. Plus the Japanese Lilac Tree grows
10 to 30 feet depending on varitiety. Lilacs are perennial plants.
Lilac bush plants flower all through the month of June and a
little beyond here in Maine. Blooms of purple, lavender and blue
Lilacs are as pretty as the red, pink and white Lilacs. Hyacinthafolia
cultivars open the earliest in our yard followed closely by the
Syringa Vulgaris cultivars. Syringa Prestonia extend the bloom
time and the Reticulata, White Japanese Tree Lilac, flowers in
July to finish up the season.
In Maine the Prestoni cultivars, also known as late Lilac, make
excellent companion plants when combined with Rosa Rugusa Roses.
The late Lilacs come into flower at the same time as the Roses
which are nicely scented on their own.
