Josee Reblooming Lilac

Common Purple Lilac is a popular lilac. This large shrub provides excellent privacy or wind protection in an attractive package.

Lilac flowers are pleasantly fragrant and add a beautiful lavender colour to your property. Common Purple Lilac is cold hardy, easy to grow, and can tolerate most soil types.

Some people alternate villosa and common purple lilacs to create the impression that the hedge is in flower for almost a full month with the common purple flowering about 2 weeks sooner than the Villosa Lilac.

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.
