    Plant Your Own Fragrant Purple Lilac Tree

    Grow your own beautiful and fragrant Purple Lilac Tree with these bare root starts. You’ll receive 5+ bare root starts of Syringa vulgaris, each measuring approximately 6 to 12 inches in length, complete with healthy roots. Imagine the sweet aroma and vibrant purple blooms enhancing your garden year after year. These hardy flowering shrubs are perfect for adding a touch of elegance and captivating fragrance to your landscape.

    While it may take approximately three years for these bare root starts to mature and produce their first buds and flowers, the anticipation of their stunning display and delightful scent is well worth the wait. For those in warmer climates or seeking potentially faster growth, consider larger size starts. The best time to transplant your Purple Lilac Tree is during the fall season, allowing the roots ample time to establish themselves firmly before the next growing season begins. These perennial flowers are renowned for their captivating fragrance and reliable return, provided they experience a necessary period of frost. In regions without frost, their perennial nature may be compromised.
