Description

Chinese Lilac is a broad-spreading shrub that can reach 8'-15' tall. It does well in full sun with moist, well-drained soil. Leaves are medium to dark green. Flowers can be purple, white or violet, 4"-6" long, very fragrant and profuse in May. Prune regularly to keep it from getting to leggy.

Water Saving Tip:

Use multiple cycles of irrigation on watering days. Most sprinklers deliver water faster than soils can absorb it.

By breaking up the watering time into smaller segments, runoff can be greatly reduced.
