Preorder is available  for pickup and delivery starting 3/5

Lilac 'Little Darling' (Syringa hybrid 'Little Darling') is a compact and charming dwarf variety of the common lilac, prized for its beautiful fragrance and vibrant blooms. Its smaller size makes it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or container planting while still offering the classic lilac appeal. 

The standout feature of this lilac is its fragrant, violet-purple flowers that bloom twice a year! They bloom in late spring to early summer and again in the fall. The flowers have a sweet, classic lilac scent, which attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies.

Lilac 'Little Darling' is hardy in USDA zones 3–7, making it suitable for a wide range of climates, from colder northern regions to more temperate areas.

Care:

The 'Little Darling' lilac prefers full sun to thrive and bloom well, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It grows best in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, but it does not tolerate overly wet or soggy soil. Pruning after flowering helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy growth. It is relatively low-maintenance once established.
