difference between lilac and lavender plants Bloomables® New Age™ Lavender Lilac

Dreamy light lavender Lilac blooms on a small, tidy shrub? Choose Bloomables® New Age™ Lavender Lilac (Syringa vulgaris 'G13099') to start off your new growing season with sweet-smelling blooms in a smaller, space-saving space!

Although this high-reward landscape shrub needs little care, it delivers an astounding natural bouquet of five-inch high inflorescence! Each densely-packed flower cluster is composed of about 100 tiny, true flowers! New Age™ Lavender is just as sweetly scented as its larger cousins but at a fraction of the size!

The compact New Age™ Lavender Lilac features a densely-branched structure cloaked in deep green foliage. This modern selection also shows strong disease resistance to powdery mildew! Bloomables® Lilac bushes grow just 4-5 feet in height and width and are very cold-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 7!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Lilacs are very easy to grow! Choose a planting site for Lilacs in full sun with at least six hours of sunlight. They do best in well-drained soil that is organically enriched but not overly fertilized. For poor drainage sites, raise your Lilacs up over the water table by creating a planting mound to improve drainage. Add symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster formula in the planting hole for a life-long benefit to the feeder roots and top the root system with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch or arborist bark chips.

Apply supplemental water when the top inch of your soil gets dry. Protect your investment during dry weather to keep your plants happy and stress-free! Try watering at the roots or using in-ground irrigation to keep the leaves clean and dry.

Once the blooms are done, you can snip them off the shrub and prune your shrub for shape and size control. Correct any crossing or damaged branches at that time, cutting at a 45-degree angle above an outward-facing leaf bud. But avoid pruning your shrub any time after that or you'll risk removing next year's breathtaking floral display!

• Full Sun Shrubs
• Almost Any Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Yet Regular Moisture
• Prune Only After Flowering
• Improved Resistance To Powdery Mildew
