The Prince Charming® Lilac is a compact deciduous bush growing just 6 feet by 4 feet, with small leaves and dense branching. In mid-May it is smothered in large trusses of many flowers, which are wine-red when in bud and freshly opened, and lavender-pink as they mature. In bloom for several weeks, it fills the air around it with rich spicy perfume. Perfect for foundation planting around your home, growing alone or in groups in shrub beds, or for making an informal hedge or screen, this tough plant is cold-hardy and easy to grow.
The Prince Charming® Lilac is completely hardy even in zone 3, and it blooms profusely with no problems at all. Dead-heading and pruning are not needed. Plant this reliable shrub in full sun in ordinary garden soil, then sit back and watch it grow and bloom. Insects and diseases are normally never an issue, and once established it is self-sufficient and easy to grow.
