Syringa hyacinthiflora 'Declaration' - Lilac

Syringa hyacinthiflora ‘Declaration’
Lilac

Bring classic lilac fragrance and rich spring color to the landscape with ‘Declaration’. Large, reddish-purple flower panicles that can reach 8–12 inches long, creating a full, fragrant display in spring.

‘Declaration’ has a smaller, denser habit than many traditional lilacs, maturing at about 70% of the size of larger types. This makes it a nice choice for planting near patios, along foundations, or in smaller garden spaces where a full-size lilac may be too large.

Plant in half-day to full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Like most lilacs, it is easy to grow and generally low maintenance, though some powdery mildew may appear on foliage during hot summers.
