Cait's Garden

At a time when traditional lilacs have finished blooming, the Dwarf Korean Lilacs are just beginning to bloom, making them a great way for lilac lovers to extend their season of happiness. As you can see from the photo, the fullness and compact size of the shrubs (the ones shown are at full height and are actually three shrubs grown in close proximity) make them a perfect addition to landscaping near the house. To keep them tidy, just be sure to shear back up to a foot each year (depending on the height you want to maintain) after they bloom. Another great thing about this shrub is that the flowers are everywhere, from top to bottom. And they are reliably that way year after year. Simply awesome blossom coverage. And their smell is particularly sweet, their petals particularly dainty. If you want a low maintenance, reliably flowering shrub, you really can’t go wrong with this one.
