Josee Reblooming Lilac

Nannyberry is a hardy shrub known for attracting wildlife. Its clusters of white flowers and tasty berries are suitable for bees, birds, and other animals.

Nannyberry is also used in urban yards and landscaping. This shrub makes a beautiful ornamental and is small enough to grow underneath power lines. Its berries can be eaten fresh or used in baking and preserves.

Makes a great hedge or privacy screen in an urban yard. Often has great red fall color to complement its spring flowers.

Josee Reblooming Lilac is the perfect lilac for an urban yard. Unlike most lilacs, this shrub is capable of producing fragrant blooms multiple times per year. Plus, Josee Reblooming Lilac is significantly smaller than all the other lilacs we carry so you don't have to worry about it taking over your yard.

You can plant it as a hedge or on its own–it's beautiful either way. For more hedge row ideas, check out Miss Kim Korean Lilac. The Josee is comparable to the Bloomerang.
