Why plant Dwarf Korean Lilac Tree Form?
It’s Lilac 2.0! Dwarf Korean Lilac reminds you of the sweet-smelling Old-Fashioned Lilacs that people have adored for generations, but with some significant improvements. This dapper plant doesn’t get huge and leggy, and its leaves don’t get ugly powdery mildew in the summer. A part of our Watercolor collection, Dwarf Korean Lilac celebrates spring with loads of pretty lavender-pink blossoms that give off an intoxicating scent. Plant it under your window and enjoy the fragrance without leaving the house. It also makes a fine addition to your entryway garden, mixed borders, or patio plantings.
Plant explorer Frank Meyer, working for the USDA in the early 1900s, spent years combing the Chinese countryside and cities for plants that could be useful to the West. His haul? An amazing 2,500 new species and varieties. He brought us Gingkoes, Persimmons, Junipers, Bamboos, Soybeans, and the Meyer Lemon that bears his name. He even sent back tins of “bean cheese”—Westerners first taste of tofu? And this Lilac. Strangely, we don’t know where he got the Meyer Lilac, because it has never been found in the wild since.
How to use Dwarf Korean Lilac Tree Form in the landscape?
Dwarf Korean Lilac’s virtues have won it a Gold Medal Plant award from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Only plants that are easy to grow, free from pests, and beautiful in multiple seasons have a chance of winning this prestigious prize.

How To Plant Dwarf Korean Lilac Tree Form
Grow this sun-lover in a bright, open area—shade will reduce or eliminate flowering. Dwarf Korean Lilac isn’t fussy about soil as long as it drains well. Water regularly (weekly) and mulch to keep the root zone cool and moist. Like nearly all Lilacs, Dwarf Korean Lilac loves cold climates and struggles in the Deep South, although it’s more heat-tolerant than many.
How To Water
Water deeply, and regularly during first few years in the ground to encourage a deep, extensive root system. Irrigate weekly, especially during prolonged dry spells or extreme heat after it’s established.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each late fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How Does Shipping Work?
Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.
*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.
Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
