Tinkerbelle Lilac

The Tinkerbelle® Lilac is the perfect choice for smaller gardens, especially in cold areas where the range of dwarf lilacs is limited. It grows into a rounded bush no more than 6 feet tall and 5 feet across, and every May it is smothered in large trusses of dramatic wine-red flower buds that open to reveal colorful pink flowers. Unlike some other dwarf lilacs, this one is richly fragrant with the spicy lilac perfume, which will flood across your garden. Plant it beneath a window to enjoy the color and perfume, plant one in the lawn, or in beds with other flowering shrubs. Wherever you grow it you will love this easy to grow bush, which is ideal for gardens everywhere, from zone 3 to zone 7.

• Glowing wine-red and pink clusters of spring flowers
• Rich with traditional lilac fragrance
• Perfect rounded shape only 6 feet tall
• Winter hardy to zone 3
• Ideal choice for smaller gardens and spaces

The Tinkerbelle® Lilac is easy to grow in full sun or partial shade. It thrives in almost any garden soil, except for very wet or very dry locations. It is largely free of the pests and diseases common in older lilac trees, and it requires no elaborate pruning to keep it dense, rounded shape. Just remove the flowers as they die, and your bush is ready to grow and bloom vigorously again, every spring. When not blooming its gentle form and green leaves will make an attractive backdrop for your other, later-flowering shrubs and plants.
