Josee Reblooming Lilac
Spicebush

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.

The Spicebush is an unique ornamental shrub that blooms with vibrant yellow flowers and bright green foliage. The foliage goes from green to yellow in the autumn, adding fall interest to your garden.The plant is dioecious, meaning that you will need male and female plants in order to harvest it’s red berries. Berries are only produced on female plants. The berries themselves aren’t that sweet, and are mostly enjoyed by birds and other wildlife.

The Spicebush, also commonly known as Common Spicebush, Northern Spicebush, Wild Allspice, and Benjamin Bush, is named after its distinctive spicy-sweet fragrance that comes from the flowers.
