Dwarf Varieties
Full-size lilacs can grow 6 to 15 ft high, but the dwarf lilac varieties only get to 4 to 5 ft. which makes them perfect for small gardens or even containers.
How fast do dwarf lilacs grow?

Are there any dwarf lilac bushes?
Bloomerang® Dwarf Purple lilac naturally grows as a small, rounded shrub, at just about a third the size of conventional lilacs. It outperforms other lilacs with its perfectly purple blooms that cover the plant in late spring, then reappear throughout summer and fall. Plus, it's vigorous and resistant to disease.
What is the most fragrant dwarf lilac?
The lilac usually considered the most fragrant is a Chinese native—S. pubescens. It has small, white flowers tinged with purple. The fragrance is sweet and spicy, very different from the traditional “lilac” scent.
Are lilacs low maintenance?
Lilacs are hardy, easy to grow, and low maintenance. They can grow from 5 to 15 feet tall, depending on the variety. The fragrant flowers are good for cutting and attractive to butterflies.
What grows well with dwarf lilacs?
Herbaceous peonies and tree peonies (Paeonia) are wonderful companions to lilacs. They are compatible in color, fragrance and form, and make each other look better. Plant peonies at your lilac' foot to hide its poorly clad legs and savor the beauty and pervasive perfume they lavish on those who passes-by.
Are coffee grounds good for lilacs?
Using Fresh Coffee Grounds
Grow lilacs in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil (at a pH near 7.0). If your soil is in poor condition, add compost to enrich. Lilacs don't like wet feet and will not bloom with too much water.
Can you keep a lilac tree small?
An older lilac may stop blooming if neighboring trees have grown up to cast shade on it. Lilacs need regular renewal pruning to thin them out and control their size. ... Since common lilac is a big shrub or a small tree, growing 8 to 20 feet tall and almost as wide, it can simply be too much shrub for smaller yards.
Can I plant lilac next to House?
Lilac roots aren't considered invasive and as long as you leave enough space between the tree, or shrub, and the structure, there is little risk from planting lilacs near foundations. A distance of 12 feet from the foundation is generally enough to prevent foundation damage.
How do you trim a dwarf lilac bush?
Make the cut just above a new shoot or bud. Cut branches back selectively to shape the dwarf lilac bush as desired, removing no more than one-third of any stem and making a clean cut just above a bud facing in the desired direction. Dwarf lilacs generally require little of this type of pruning.
Do dwarf lilacs need full sun?
Tips for Growing Dwarf Lilacs

How do you take care of a dwarf lilac?
Cultivation: Grow dwarf Korean lilac in full sun or part shade and average soil. It likes regular watering but will tolerate drought once established. Feed with a general fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Remove spent flower heads to promote better bloom in the next year.
