These rugged, long-lived shrubs are easy to grow and offer unbeatable beauty with minimal care. If you love the look and scent of spring, Lilacs are a must-have addition to your landscape.

Key Benefits

  • Unmatched fragrance and stunning spring flowers
  • Cold-hardy and long-lived for years of enjoyment
  • Available in a wide variety of colors and sizes
  • Excellent for hedges, borders, and foundation plantings

Some of Our Favorite Types of Lilacs

Most Lilac blooms are shades of purple, but there’s so much more variety to enjoy. You’ll find:

  • White Lilacs: Common White Lilac and Beauty of Moscow
  • Yellow Lilacs: Primrose
  • Pink Lilacs: Miss Canada and Little Lady

If purple is your favorite, try the deep Aubergine Lilac flowers of Yankee Doodle. Need a smaller size? Choose Tiny Dancer™ or Miss Kim. For extra cold climates, the James MacFarlane Lilac thrives down to USDA Zone 2.

Prefer tree forms? We also carry Bloomerang® Lilac Trees and other specialty options for an elegant look in any mixed perennial garden.

Landscaping with Lilacs

Perspective view of Lilac bush

Lilac bushes grow best in full sun and well-drained soil. Plant them where they’ll get at least six hours of sunlight each day for the most abundant blooms.

These versatile shrubs can be used for:

  • Informal flowering hedges or privacy screens
  • Outdoor walls and borders for garden rooms
  • Accent plantings near patios or entryways
  • Housewarming gifts or memorial plantings
  • Anchors in foundation plantings or mixed beds
  • Lawn or bulb companion plantings for layered color

Smaller Lilac cultivars even thrive in large containers for patios and balconies, perfect for edible landscaping pairings with fruiting plants.

Care and Pruning

Lilacs are simple to maintain. Water regularly during establishment, then enjoy their drought tolerance once mature. Each variety typically blooms for about two weeks in late spring. To extend your display, plant a mix of early, mid, and late bloomers or choose reblooming varieties like Bloomerang® Lilacs for flowers from spring through fall.

Pruning is easy: after flowering, snip spent blooms for indoor bouquets and light shaping. Every few years, perform renewal pruning by cutting a few older stems to the ground to encourage fresh new growth and more blooms next season.

Splendid Fragrant Beauty!

Bring the beauty and fragrance of Lilacs to your landscape this year. Shop the full collection of Lilac bushes for sale at Nature Hills Nursery and enjoy premium plants shipped with care. Family-owned and operated since 2001, Nature Hills Nursery proudly backs every order with our Product Guarantee and helpful Planting Guide.
