    Yankee Doodle Lilac is a flowering deciduous shrub with dark purple single petaled clusters of flowers that bloom in spring. Panicles are long and last a few weeks! Isn't that what you always wish for every May, that the lilacs would just bloom a little longer? Fragrant and loved by pollinators. Prune off spent flowers once done flowering. Water deeply the first year as roots get established and then weekly, or more in extreme heat.

    6-8 ft tall and wide

    Deer resistant

    Full Sun

    Shipping Methods

    Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

    Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

    We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

    Happy plant in the heat

    So they came as little saplings but they are doing well in sandy soil and lots of sun. I’ve been watering every other day and they are slowly growing in size. They have demonstrated I don’t need to be terribly worried about rushing home on a hot day - central VA in the Piedmont, sturdy plants.

    Great service and products, front to back!

    I bought the lilac for my wife because we're in a new house and she's getting into gardening. She asked for a lilac and I selected the Yankee Doodle from your website. With your notification I could easily track the shipment and when it arrived it was in perfect condition and is now establishing itself in our yard.
