Double French Lilac that is suitable for Southern growers! 🍹🍑
French Lilac ‘Belle de Nancy’ is intensely fragrant with double pink flowers and green foliage. The upright panicles appear as pink-mauve buds in spring and blossom into lilac-pink petals, fading to a blueish hue in summer. For the best flower display, it is important to prune immediately after flowering. Syringa ‘Belle de Nancy’ has mid-green, heart-shaped foliage in spring and summer. These are the exact sized plants we plant directly into our fields here at the farm. They are excellent growers and worth every penny!

Lilac 'Belle de Nancy
Planting Instructions: Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade, but best bloom is in full sun. Prefers rich, moist, neutral soils. Needs good air circulation. Dig a hole large enough to encompass the roots without bending or circling. Set the plant in place so the crown (part of the plant where the root meets the stem) is about 1-2 inches below the soil surface. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. The Lilac transplants easily.
