This dark purple selection offers deep, saturated blooms that stand out beautifully against the heart-shaped green foliage, making it a traditional favorite for gardens, borders, and cut-flower arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLilacs are long-lived, hardy shrubs that develop a full, upright form over time and reward patience with increasingly abundant bloom. The flowers are wonderful for fresh bouquets and bring their perfume indoors, while in the landscape they serve as a showy specimen, a fragrant hedge, or a backdrop for perennials. They perform best with a period of winter chill and benefit from good air circulation. Plant them where their spring display and scent can be enjoyed up close, such as near a patio, walkway, or entryway.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Syringa vulgaris\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Dark Purple\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Deciduous flowering shrub\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, rounded, suckering\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-drained, fertile, slightly alkaline to neutral\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 3-7\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Cold stratification recommended; germinates in 2-8 weeks\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly press into soil, keep moist\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 6-10 feet apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Blooms in mid to late spring; flowers are fragrant and attractive to pollinators\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663221784712,"sku":"EXGA-664","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_cd9f9a8f-f8d4-4d08-8540-8c375a6a8f27.png?v=1791896073","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-syringa-vulgaris-dark-purple-common-lilac-fragrant-shrub","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
