Miss Ellen Willmott White French Lilac (Syringa Vulgaris) – 3 Gallon Pot

---

---

An old favorite that has stood the test of time for good reasons, ‘Miss Ellen Willmott’ is a very hardy French Lilac featuring abundant clusters of deliciously fragrant, lovely double white flowers in mid spring. The flowers are excellent for cutting and enjoying indoors, and the butterflies love them. A large grower to about 10 feet high and wide, this one does produce suckers so is best used as a large specimen shrub or natural hedge and left to grow natural. One of those plants that will always have you looking forward to spring, plant this sensory wonder near a window or patios, decks and other outdoor living spaces where the pretty blooms and fragrance can be enjoyed. Cold hardy to -40F and deer resistant.

Growing to around 10 feet tall and equally as wide, the Miss Ellen Willmott French Lilac is ideal for use as a specimen or tall hedge. Plant near paths, walkways and outdoor living spaces where the wonderful fragrance can be enjoyed. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, cut flower gardens, butterfly gardens and cottage gardens. 

Suggested Spacing:  7 to 8 feet apart for solid hedges; 16 feet or more apart for space between plants

Miss Ellen Willmott 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.
