? Up for sale is one Purple Lilac (Syringa vulgaris) plant, 1–2 years old, measuring 5–10 inches tall and sent bare root during winter. Planting instructions are included, and roots will be securely wrapped in wet wood shavings to prevent damage during transit. Winter dispatch runs from November through April, with the plant professionally trimmed to encourage branching and fit into the shipping box. ? During dormancy (November to April), the plant will have no leaves. Summer dispatch is available in containers with soil, and partial de-leafing may occur to conserve water during transit. Shipping may be delayed if temperatures in New Jersey drop below freezing, as the plant must be dug up when the soil is soft. ? This lilac boasts extremely fragrant purple flowers, attracting butterflies, bees, and birds. It grows best in organically rich, slightly acidic soil with good drainage. The mature plant reaches 8–10 feet tall and 10 feet wide, thriving as a drought-resilient, deer-resilient, and low-maintenance bush. Ideal for use as a screen or border specimen. ? Please note: Displayed flower pictures represent mature growth. The plant you receive will be younger unless otherwise stated. Payment is required within three days of purchase, and orders will be dispatched with a tracking number, typically at the beginning of the week (Mondays or Wednesdays). ? Your order will arrive in good condition. If any issues occur during transit, contact us the same day with a detailed description and photos so we can assist you.
