Prepare for an olfactory and visual delight with the Scentara Double Blue® Lilac from the renowned Proven Winners® ColorChoice® series. This exceptional hybrid combines the timeless charm of the classic lilac with improved modern features, delivering a rich fragrance and vibrant colour that is second to none.
Key Features & Benefits
Intoxicating Fragrance: The primary draw of this lilac is its powerful, sweet, and enchanting scent. Plant it near a patio, window, or entryway to enjoy its heavy fragrance every time you pass by.
Unique "Double Blue" Blooms: Clusters of lovely, lavender-blue flowers are dense and abundant. Unlike single-petaled varieties, the "double" bloom structure gives the flowers a richer, fuller appearance when they burst open in late spring to early summer.
Compact & Manageable Size: Reaching a mature height and spread of 6–8 feet, it’s a much more garden-friendly size than older, large-growing common lilacs. This makes it suitable for mixed borders, foundation plantings, or as a stand-alone specimen.
Reblooming Tendencies: While the main flush is in late spring, this variety can produce sporadic smaller blooms later in the season, extending your enjoyment well past traditional lilac timing.
Disease Resistant: Bred for superior health, it exhibits good resistance to common lilac problems like powdery mildew, keeping the foliage looking clean and healthy all season long.
Attracts Pollinators: The fragrant blooms are a favourite of butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees, bringing vibrant life and activity to your garden.
