Sometimes called summer lilac, this sturdy little shrub in shades of white, pink, or purple withstands drought, blooms all season long, and attracts pollinators. It’s now available in dwarf varieties, so it won’t overtake your garden, and newer types are not invasive. Set in borders or as mass plantings.

USDA Hardiness Zones: 5-10
Sun Exposure: full sun to partial shade
Soil Condition/pH: moist, well-drained / acidic to neutral
Helpful Tidbits: The plant will thrive in areas with medium humid and it performs poorly in overly moist or dry conditions.

Varieties to Try
Lo & Behold Blue Chip Jr.: Grows just 18 to 30 inches tall to fit in smaller spaces
Asian Moon: Larger size with deep purple flowers that have orange throats
