The Wonder Blue Lilac, also known as Syringa ‘Wonder Blue,’ is a compact lilac variety prized for its unusual blue-toned flowers and dwarf growth habit. Unlike traditional lilacs, this variety remains small and bushy, making it an excellent choice for small gardens, borders, and foundation plantings. Its fragrant, long-lasting blooms attract butterflies and bees, adding color and life to the garden.
Foliage: Deep green, heart-shaped leaves provide an attractive backdrop throughout the growing season. The compact growth habit ensures a neat, rounded form that stays lush even when not in bloom.
Flowers: Produces abundant clusters of soft blue-lavender flowers in late spring. The blooms have a sweet fragrance and hold their color longer than many other lilac varieties.
Growth Habit: Reaching 3-5 feet tall and wide, Wonder Blue Lilac maintains a dense, rounded growth habit, making it ideal for small spaces, borders, or even containers.
Climate: Thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. It is exceptionally cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures as low as Zone 2, making it a great choice for northern gardens.
Maintenance: This low-maintenance lilac requires minimal pruning but benefits from light trimming after flowering to encourage new growth. It is resistant to powdery mildew and other common lilac diseases.
Landscape Uses: Wonder Blue Lilac is perfect for small gardens, mixed borders, foundation plantings, and container gardening. Its unique blue-hued flowers and fragrant blooms make it a standout feature in any landscape.
