Dwarf lilacs have become very popular requiring much less space
than large lilacs. They are mildew resistant as well as resistant much
more to insects and diseases. Some even reflower during the summer.
Southern Blooming lilacs are those who grow
into Zone 9 (Z9). These lilacs will also do excellent in colder
climates.

Syringa x Josee.

a dwarf reaching 3.5 to 4 feet in height. It is very fragrant and has recurrent
bloom in the season as does Josee. The shrub is very compact and dense
and naturally has a rounded shape. It is hardy from zones 3-9 USDA. Named
after our son Colby who was born on April 30 2002 with Down Syndrome.
