As a tree it is ideal for use as a specimen in landscape borders, home foundation plantings or around patios, decks, porches and outdoor sitting and living spaces where the beautiful flowers and wonderful fragrance can be enjoyed from close up.

Growing Preferences
The Primrose French Lilac is easy to grow in a moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. Prefers a neutral to alkaline soil pH (6.5-8.0). Add pelletized agricultural lime to sweeten acid soils. Fertilize once, in early spring, with a light application of an organic plant food or slow-release shrub & tree fertilizer. Prune as necessary right after bloom in spring.
