This playful deciduous shrub embodies the spirit of spring with bunches of large cones with delightfully fragrant lilac blooms and dense, heart-shaped, green foliage. Known for its lively attitude, this shrub produces copious blossoms during its first year, two weeks before other lilacs bloom, and will live for about 30 years. So fill your vases with alluring cut flowers all spring long. Its large form provides an excellent opportunity to install it as a focal point or statement shrub! 

With full to partial sun and well-drained soil, this shrub will flourish. Honeybees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and a myriad of other pollinators will be drawn to its sweet, fragrant scent, making your landscape vibrant and full of life. With an upright growth habit, use this plant in mass plantings, borders, hedges, or as a focal point for your landscape. It was bred to be much more pest tolerant and disease resistant than other lilac varieties and is exceptionally resistant to mildew. 

Purple Glory Lilac Care

Purple Glory Lilacs are low maintenance and easy to take care of. Plant this shrub in an area that receives full to partial sun and has well-draining soil containing plenty of rich organic material such as compost. Place mulch over the plant's roots, avoiding the base of the trunk. Water your lilac when the first 2 inches of soil are dry to the touch and a bit more frequently during the first few weeks of establishment. 

After the blooming period finishes, prune the top of your shrub to the desired height using pruning shears or a small saw. Remove all spent blooms, and trim any suckers at the base of the trunk. Next, clip off a few larger branches from the inside to expose the center of the shrub to more light and air circulation. Finally, trim back any diseased or dead-looking branches, as well as any branches that are tangled together. Pruning will ensure vigorous blooming for the next season!

Purple Glory Lilac Spacing

Purple Glory Lilacs can grow to a mature height of 12 to 15 feet tall and a width of 8 to 12 feet wide. Plant them with enough space to allow for proper growth, about 12 feet apart, and don't crowd the sides with other tightly packed shrubs or plants.

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.
