Spring Hill Nurseries Josee Lilac

Unlike traditional lilacs that bloom once in spring, the Josee variety is bred to produce an initial heavy flush of flowers in late spring, followed by intermittent, smaller waves of blooms throughout the summer and into autumn until the first frost.

Yes, its compact habit makes it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes. Reaching a mature height of 4 to 6 feet, it fits well in foundation plantings or garden borders where larger, traditional lilacs might overwhelm the space.

The Josee Reblooming Lilac is hardy in zones 5 through 8. If you live within these zones, it should survive the winter and return reliably each year.

While it performs best in full sun, which encourages the most prolific flowering, it is adaptable and will tolerate partial shade. Keep in mind that less sun may result in fewer blooms during the reblooming cycles.

Yes, it retains the classic, intoxicating lilac scent that gardeners love. You can expect the same sensory appeal as traditional lilacs, but with the added benefit of that fragrance lasting much longer into the season.
