Notes
'Lavender Lady' lilac (Syringa vulgaris 'Lavender Lady') is a shrub for specimen plantings, hedges, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Fragrant blooms open in early to late spring and draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. It also tolerates salt. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with David garden phlox, Cheerfulness daffodil, Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
