The smell of Lilacs in spring is absolutely enchanting, and Nature Hills offers many delicious varieties. For the deepest, darkest fragrant purple panicles, you'll want to add this Yankee Doodle Lilac (Syringa vulgaris 'Yankee Doodle') to your cart.

This vigorous, upright grower features large clusters of the richest, darkest purple flowers. Everyone wants the Yankee Doodle, not only because of the fragrant spring bloom - but also because of the deep, deliciously dark color. This is a very desirable Lilac, and we have a hard time keeping it in stock.

Yankee Doodle is a fragrant variety that's truly an American treasure! One of Father John L. Fiala's many beloved cultivars, Yankee Doodle was developed for its color, performance and scent. A priest and educator, Father John was an early participant in the International Lilac Society. He developed over 50 named cultivars and brought them to market.

Yankee Doodle is one of the darkest purple Lilacs available. The large panicles of fragrant, single, deep rich purple flower clusters are held aloft above the leaves. That shade of purple is the perfect foil against the richly blue green, heart shaped leaves.
