Extend your spring bloom season with Pocahontas Lilac, an exceptionally hardy early blooming lilac prized for its rich deep violet flowers and intensely fragrant blossoms. Deep maroon-purple buds open in early May, blooming 7 to 10 days before many common lilac varieties and bringing vibrant color and sweet fragrance to the garden when few shrubs are in flower.

The richly colored blooms attract butterflies and beneficial pollinators while filling the air with the classic lilac fragrance gardeners love. These healthy plants are shipped established in 4 inch nursery pots and are ready to thrive in the landscape.
