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:

Replace damaged nozzles or heads with those identical to other heads on the same valve.

Mixing different types of heads on the same valve will create overly dry areas or overly wet areas.
