Fragrant Lilac Collection - 4 Varieties (SAVE 40%)

Lilacs are among the most popular cultivated shrubs in the temperate world. Aside from roses, there is no flower as beautiful and aromatic. There is nothing better than the sweet scent of a freshly picked bouquet of lilacs in early spring. Lilacs are seldom bothered by pests, easy to grow and are renowned for their showy fragrant flowers produced profusely in spring to early summer. There are many varieties of Lilacs and they blossom in a variety of sizes and colors - pink, purple, white, and shades in between - and all carry that sweet scent we all love. All make great specimen plants. Even when the flowers drop, the foliage continues to make the lilac an attractive shrub/tree for the remainder of the growing season. This collection is for one packet each of four (4) Lilac varieties:

French Lilac
Late Lilac
Pekin Lilac
Japanese Tree Lilac
