Josee lilac blooms slowly spring & continues to flower intermittently til frost. Why not add this dwarf lilac as a great stand alone specimen? It's newly 4-6' tall beside a 4-5' spread Very resistant to mildew . One caution: "You probably won't get hold of summer reblooms in hot climates, but she may hold a surprise for you in the cooler drip months!" This is an ultra-hardy blend of Korean, Littleleaf, and Meyer's Lilacs.Growing Zones 4 - 8
