This tree is the center piece in a memorial for a little princess that almost made it, but was too precious to be a part of this world. It was extremely important I got a healthy plant with a guarantee and Grimm’s delivered that piece of mind and satisfaction to me. Someone took extra care and put love into growing this lilac. It it about 2.5 feet tall, thick and as bushy as a little plant can be. Would buy over and over.

I purchased this lilac because of the heavenly fragrance and dwarf size. Mine arrived last week in perfect condition and now is planted near our garden bench on our south lawn. Looking very forward to many years of many glorious blooms!
