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.
