Syringa Prairie Petite

Compact, Ultra-Fragrant Dwarf, Just 3 to 4 feet high and wide, it’s ideal for small gardens and even containers. Small enough for containers and covered with big, bright pink blooms that mature to lavender, Prairie Petite is the answer to gardeners’ dreams. Finally you can have a fully blooming Lilac hedge in a small garden, around the patio, or even in pots marching up the front steps.

This dwarf tree has a rounded, dense habit ideal for a big show of color, and that’s just what it’s prepared to give you year after year — beginning from a very young age. The blooms emerge rosy-pink on fat 5-inch wands, then mature to soft lavender as the weather warms. Wonderfully fragrant, they are a magnet for bees and add a lot of color to any size space.

Ideal for the patio, small garden designs, and in large containers everywhere, Prairie Petite reaches just 3 to 4 feet high and wide. It looks terrific out of bloom too, thanks to its compact, very tightly-held habit. This is a little showpiece of a tree that enlivens any sunny to partly-shaded spot.Prairie Petite is quite cold-hardy, thriving all the way through zone 2 in the north. For best flowering and growth, give it well-drained soil well enriched with humus.
