Syringa x hyacinthiflora ‘Declaration’ - Early Lavender Lilac
- deciduous shrub with dark green leaves
- fragrant dark reddish-purple single flower clusters in spring
- blooms 1 to 1.5 weeks earlier than common lilacs
- nice heart-shaped green leaves in summer
- attracts butterflies and hummingbirds
- this cultivar is known for having open upright growth
- great in full sun to part shade
- grows 8-10' tall and 7’ wide
- flowers on old wood, so only prune after flowering
- grows in zones 3-7
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships in cool spring, fall, or winter seasons; not during summer
Recommended companions:
- Spring bulbs (such as Daffodil & Hyacinth) offer color before leaves emerge
- Clematis vine to climb up through the branches and offer a second round of showy blooms in late spring and/or summer
- Hosta perennials to fill the shady side underneath lilac branches, suppressing weeds with interesting leaf styles and summer flowers; low-lying lilac branches may help protect these appealing perennials from critter attack
- Hardy Chrysanthemum perennials to fill the sunny side underneath the lilac branches, suppressing weeds and offering additional blooms in fall in a spot somewhat protected from rains (to allow their flowers to look nice longer)
