Crimson Doll™ Lilac

The Crimson Doll™ Lilac is a rounded deciduous shrub growing to 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It has attractive heart-shaped leaves and in spring it is smothered in huge clusters of colorful and fragrant blooms. The buds are rosy-red, opening to a bright reddish-pink, and becoming a bright and lighter pink as they mature. This wonderful bush is easy to grow and very cold-resistant, suitable for planting around your home, in garden beds, as a hedge, or in semi-natural areas.

• Clusters of rosy-red buds open to reddish-pink flowers
• Compact bush no more than 5 feet tall
• Richly perfume drifts across your garden
• Reliable and disease resistant in summer heat
• Ideal shrub for colder zones

The Crimson Doll™ Lilac will grow best in full sun, but an hour or two of shade each day won’t be a problem. It blooms well in all the coldest parts of the country, and it handles hot summers very well. It grows strongly in any well-drained soil, including alkaline soils, clay, and rough urban ground. Pests or diseases are rarely a problem with this healthy and vigorous bush, and removing the finished bloom-heads is all the care needed.
