This lilac is a must-have in spring landscapes for zones 2 through 8. Scentara Double Blue grows to a height and width of 6 to 8 feet. This makes the shrub a perfect backdrop for plants that bloom later in the season. You especially want to plant this upright lilac near a sidewalk, patio or entryway so you can enjoy the scent on spring days.
Scentara Double Blue Lilac Care
Plant Scentara Double Blue Lilac in nearly any soil that drains well. The shrub needs regular watering, especially for the first few years, but should not sit in soggy soil following heavy rain or snow. Plant it in full sun. Lilacs can take heat but need enough cool nights in winter to form blooms. Its leaves drop in winter but come back each spring. You don't have to prune lilacs, but if you want to shape your plant, prune right after it is done blooming in spring. The flowers form on the plant's old wood.
Scentara Double Blue Lilac Spacing
If you want a full border or hedge of Scentara Double Blue Lilac for abundant spring color and a wave of sweet fragrance, space the plants about 6 to 8 feet apart.

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.

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.
