The fun of this beautiful lilac shrub is watching it change from season to season. It displays bright green foliage with a burgundy tint in the Fall. The highly fragrant and abundant flowers are deep purple in bud form, then icy blue when they finally bloom in the Spring. We think it?s the perfect gift for any garden.

Design Suggestions
This stunning plant can be kept in its container and placed on a patio or terrace as a striking addition to the décor. If re-planted, a lilac with such wonderful fragrance and beautiful color needs to be placed where it can be admired three seasons of the year. The unusual small growth of this shrub makes it easy to place in the front of a border, or to use as a low hedge along a drive or sidewalk.
