Product Description

A stunning addition to add to your patio, this fantastic new dwarf Lilac is just the thing for small gardens or for sprucing up patios and decking areas in a large pot!

Ideal for adding colour, fragrance and a beautiful twist on other Lilac varieties that can often take over your garden, this ‘double flowering’, compact lilac will bloom first in May, flush through summer, then reach a second crescendo of colour in September.

Because Palibin is a dwarf variety of the classic lilac, it won’t take over your beds and borders and will not grow too tall meaning you can really enjoy the beautiful flowers and fragrance with very little maintenance required. A deadheading of faded flowers will keep the lilac flowering for as long as possible, and there’ll be little to no pruning needed thanks to its dwarf and compact nature.

It’s slow growing, easy to care for, perfect for pots and very hardy too - why not try growing as a fragrant flowering hedge for something a little bit different?

This grafted plant has been skilfully fashioned into an impressive standard by the grower and will make an instant specimen in your garden.

Supplied as 1 x established plant in a 3L pot approx. 80-120cm tall, ready to plant out.

Plant Information

Top Tips

Pot-grown shrubs can be planted at any time of the year as long as the soil is not waterlogged or frozen. If in doubt, err towards spring but remember to keep pots well-watered so that the soil does not dry out.

Care Guide

  • Grow lilac plants in fertile, well drained soil in full sun.
  • Palibin standards can be grown in containers if you wish using a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.
  • Feed and water regularly throughout the growing season while young plants become established.
  • Lilac can be pruned in winter or spring by removing any damaged, diseased or misplaced stems before lightly shaping to retain the standard form and height. In mid-summer, faded flowers can be removed from the plants.
  • After pruning, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost to the base of the lilac.

 

To Plant

  • Shrub roots generally tend to spread out rather than down, so dig a planting hole 3 x wider than the roots of the shrub you're planting, and mix some well rotted compost or manure with the soil from the hole and use this to re-fill one the shrub is in place.
  • We've found that a square hole is better than a round one as the new roots, once they reach the edges tend to grow in a circle round the circumference of the hole whereas when they reach the corners of a square hole, they find it easier to grow through.
  • Before planting soak container-grown shrubs thoroughly and allow to drain.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out a few of the roots.
  • Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the roots when planting to help plants establish quicker.
  • Place your shrub in the hole at the same level at the pot.
  • Refill the hole with the earth removed (backfilling).
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball.
  • Water well.
  • Mulch around the base of the plant with a collar, compost, gravel, bark etc.

Lilac arrived promptly. Plant is lovely and healthy - loads of buds. Have it on opposite side of path from a dwarf peach which is also coming into bud so they should look quite pretty and compliment each other in a couple of weeks time. Really pleased.

The tree arrived quite quickly, it's difficult to say what it will bloom like as it's too early. However it appears quite healthy and there aren't any on offer at our local garden centres to compare it with. This is the second plant/tree I've bought on line to see if it is worth buying this way as they offer plants I simply don't see in the garden centres, so time will tell.
Product:
It appears to be what I want, is a healthy plant, so time will tell as it comes into the time it flowers. Delivery was quite quick and it was well packaged.

My original order was said to have be delivered by the courier company, however I did not receive the goods; and after investigating the courier company said the case was closed.
I contacted Garden Bargains and within 2 days I received a replacement lilac tree.
Thank you Tracey and Garden Bargains for all your help.

I have purchased 2 standard trees, Oleander and Lilac. Both arrived safely, well packed and in good condition. The Oleander flowered all summer, a very sturdy plant which looked lovely. The lilac will flower next year and it is a sturdy plant again, very healthy, very pleased with my plants so far. I will definitely order again.

Order got held up somewhere, I emailed and was told it was lost in transit and they would sort it. Oder eventually turned up, trees had coped fine and were in good shape but the plug plants were struggling, have tried to save them, heliotrope are recovering but the osteospermum I think are not going to make it.

this Lilac is grafted on to a nut tree which I thought was rather unusual. But lookes to be a good plant. Time will tell.

I have recently placed 3 orders with Garden Bargins. The first, which arrived two weeks ago, I had to ring about to find when it would be despatched and I received no email to say it hd been. I checked my spam file just in case. The second order I received an email yesterday to say it had been despatched from the nursery. The third order I am awaiting a communication on.

The only order I have received was for3 lilac bushes and a standard lilac tree. I appreciate that they are dorment.at present but all have got buds forming except 1 of the bushes. We wait and see.
