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.
| Mature Height | 10 ft |
|---|---|

Right after it finishes flowering, before it sets next year’s buds.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
