Primrose Lilac (Syringa vul. X ‘Primrose’) is a hardy shrub with fragrant spring flowers. These flowers are buttery yellow–a rare color among lilacs. The Primrose Lilac is deer resistant and disease resistant. As an added bonus, this plant attracts pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. 

The Primrose Lilac looks attractive when grown in hedges or in the back of borders. Its mature size is 12-15 feet tall and 8-12 feet wide. This shrub has an upright, multi-stemmed growth habit. After Primrose Lilac is established, it requires very little maintenance. 

Primrose Lilac Care

The Primrose Lilac thrives in full sun and prefers moist, well-draining soil. A south- or west-facing exposure is best. When planting in mulched beds, keep the mulch 6 inches away from the trunk. Fertilize this lilac in the early spring using an all-purpose fertilizer or compost, and repeat in mid-summer. This plant is hardy in zones 3-8. 

After the Primrose Lilac is done blooming, it should be pruned to encourage more vigorous growth. The blooming period usually ends in June or July. Remove oldest growth for renewal and prune annually to maintain shape and size. Primrose Lilac grows about 1-2 feet per year in adequate conditions.

Primrose Lilac Spacing

This shrub makes an elegant screen or border for your garden. It also looks great growing in a hedge, or in the back of perennial beds. The spacing between Primrose Lilac plants should be about 8-10 feet for a dense hedge or screen. They need to receive plenty of airflow to resist disease.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
