Lilacs Buyer's Guide

The sight and smell of lilacs in bloom is an experience you won’t want to miss! Lilac bushes come in a many different shapes and sizes. They usually have dark green foliage, and their blossoms range from purple to white — and many colors in between.

Some varieties are even reblooming so you can enjoy the sight and scent of lilacs even longer. Lilac plants can thrive in a wide range of climates, but their cold hardiness makes them especially well suited for northern gardens. Grow your own lilacs and grace your landscape with beauty and fragrance.
