Zone: 3WEDGEWOOD BLUE COMMON LILAC
Syringa vulgaris 'Wedgewood Blue' is commonly referred to as Wedgewood Blue Lilac. It is a compact, upright, deciduous shrub with lilac-pink buds that open to large, fragrant, single blue flowers in upright panicles during the months of May and June. Light green, heart-shaped leaves stay attractive through the growing season and is perfect for mixed borders and foundation plantings.
Wedgewood Blue Lilac is deer resistant and thrives in rich, fertile, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It can tolerate light shade, but flowers best in full sun. It attracts butterflies and hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators. When pruning, prune immediately after flowering to best avoid accidentally removing the buds for next year.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: plant in full sun and well-draining soil to maximize the development of its delicate, soft blue blossoms. This variety prefers a neutral to slightly alkaline soil pH to maintain its color intensity. Water consistently until the root system is established and use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. To ensure you do not inadvertently prune away next year's flowers, avoid trimming in late winter or early spring; conduct any necessary structural pruning immediately after the spring bloom has concluded.
