Plant Sentry™
Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.
This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Little Lady™ Lilac does need full sun for the most blooms and best growth. Plant in any kind of well-drained soil that is enriched with organic material. Tolerant of clay soil and acidic sites, Lilacs are garden standards that are highly adaptable! New shrubs need regular moisture but these are quite drought tolerant once established, and only require moderate moisture afterward. Add a three-inch layer of mulch over the root system, then, pull it away from the stems directly to provide proper air circulation. Use fertilizer for flowering shrubs according to the directions and avoid high nitrogen Lawn fertilizers which will reduce flowering./p>
Prune after the blooms are done, and don't wait too long. These bloom on old wood, so trim promptly to avoid removing next year's flowers. Give these superior shrubs a place of honor in your landscape. You'll love them for a very long time, with proper care.
- Full Sun
- Almost Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Prune Only Immediately After Flowering
- Incredibly Cold Hardy & Drought Tolerant Once Established
