Description
6-7’ tall x 10’ wide. ‘Superba’ Littleleaf Lilac (Syringa microphylla) is a terrific shrub for those who love the fragrance and beauty of lilac blossoms, but want more consistent and prolific blooming. ‘Superba’ bears small, deep-green, slightly fuzzy leaves upon a fairly uniform, attractive framework from mid-spring onwards. Prune lightly to maintain shape in early winter, but bear in mind that lilacs bloom on wood grown the previous season - hard winter pruning will severely diminish the spring show. Plant in average, well-drained soils that are moisture retentive. Syringa microphylla ‘Superba’ is a lover of alkaline soils and is therefore a good choice as a foundation shrub. Full sun is preferred, though partial sun is tolerated with a decrease in bloom.

"These came a bit smaller than I expected which is no big deal, fun to watch them grow. I bought two and one was completely dead within the first 4 months. Kind of a bummer. The second one is doing well and has a little bit of new growth."
Truly superb
"Just great for the high desert or Southwest! Really does do well in the alkaline soil. Not at all finicky and attractive even when dormant."
