This deciduous dwarf lilac tree form showcases a compact, rounded habit with a neatly grafted 36" standard trunk, making it an attractive specimen for small spaces or as a focal point. Rated for hardiness in USDA Zones 3-7, it thrives in temperate climates and prefers full sun exposure. Best suited for well-draining, moderately fertile soils, this tree form reaches a mature height of roughly 6-8 feet above the trunk graft while maintaining a manageable spread. In late spring, it produces dense clusters of fragrant, lavender-purple flowers that attract pollinators like butterflies. The foliage remains deep green during the growing season, with minimal fall color change. While its fruit is insignificant, this tree is noted for its splendid form and ease of maintenance. Deer-resistant and drought-tolerant once established, it makes an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens or urban landscapes.
