Katherine Havemeyer Lilac tolerates light shade, but best bloom is in full sun. It grows 10-12 feet tall and 8-10 feet wide which makes a very colorful border or screen. It has a very well branched head with lots of fragrant blooms; this pretty, spreading lilac makes an excellent backdrop for a shrub border. Mulch this hardy lilac each year in early spring and avoid pruning young plants, except to remove unproductive or diseased wood. The flower color is stunning!
