Comes Small but Grows Fast!
Reviewed By: Wendy (Brookfield, IL)
I also was a little disappointed when I initially received the plant (I was worried it might die), but boy-o-boy does it grow fast once it gets settled in! I just planted it last year and it's already about a foot and a half tall and already has new blooms on it (and this is mid-April and after a very harsh winter).

Surprised
Reviewed By: Virginia (Chicago, IL)
I was so excited when I placed the order. I couldn't wait to get it. Then yesterday when it came I opened it up and was disappointed! It was only about 6" high and not very many leaves and a few of the leaves were curled over and brown. So far for the price I cannot recommend it right now, but let's see how it does and I'll be back to hopefully give it more stars.

Love these bushes!
Reviewed By: Rebecca  (Nashville, Michigan)
We have two of these small (5ft tall) lilac bushes and they are great! I can reach the beautiful blooms on top to cut easily, they smell wonderful and have such a pretty delicate looking flower compared to the usual lilacs. They are quite dense for a good hedge substitute..
