Syringa vulgaris
Choose Common Purple Lilac if you want the traditional New England lilac scent and a larger flowering shrub for a sunny border. The tradeoff: it needs room and periodic pruning, so it is not for tight foundation beds.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The spring fragrance and purple bloom carry a border well, but the show is concentrated in one season. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it is not the fastest route to privacy. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan to prune after flowering and manage suckering if you want it kept tidy. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C- | Its broad, multi-stemmed habit needs more room than most front-entry or narrow bed plantings allow. |
| Screening Value | B | It can make a good leafy seasonal screen, but it does not provide winter privacy. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this for open borders and informal hedges, not small foundation beds. Give it sun, air movement, and prune shortly after bloom so next year’s flowers are not cut off.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
