About Early, Lilac Seed
Sweetly fragrant purple flower clusters fill the garden each spring when Early Lilac, one of the first lilacs to bloom, comes into flower. Syringa oblata grows into a large, rounded shrub with broad, heart-shaped leaves that often take on reddish-purple tones in fall, a trait common lilacs rarely show. It is hardy, long-lived and excellent as a screen, hedge or fragrant focal point near patios and walkways.

Pests & Diseases
Powdery mildew may coat leaves in late summer but is mostly cosmetic. Bacterial blight can affect young shoots in wet springs. Good spacing and sun keep problems in check.
Lilac borer and scale occasionally attack older stems. Remove weak or infested canes at the base. Deer generally avoid lilacs.
