Comments (5)Hi, I sent you an e-mail also. I have white lilac suckers that I can dig up that keep popping up in my lawn and garden from my very nearby (read I planted it too close) white lilac. I have successfully potted them in the past and they have taken right off. I could send a few of them for your iris in this order: Celebration Song, Pagan Dance, Low ho silver, and stairway to heaven. Deb from Debplus3 on garden web...See MoreWANTED: dark purple lilac
Comments (2)Hi, I am not able to help you with the lilac, but please check my plant list and maybe something there will peak your interest because I am searching for someone in Maine who can help me obtain the lowbush blueberry. If you know anything about it, able to obtain some sod, and have the inclination, I would love to hear from you. Anne...See MoreGood dark lilacs for this areas
Comments (6)Well, in my experience of seeking a decent, dark purple vs. insipid (forgive me) lilac purple, I found Charles Jolie to be terribly disappointing. There's a new one I saw at Homestead, which I'm waiting to see on maybe Sunday (swap is Saturday, so my weekly trip will be a day later). Its blossoms weren't broken open, but if they fulfill the promise, this lilac will be a gorgeous, dark, dusty purple. The name, believe it or not is "lilac (something)". I can't remember it!! However, if you can hold off, I'll get it for you. There are many here who have been the recipients of many, so-called "purple" plants, shrubs and trees from me when the color has been horribly (icky) disappointing. And things that were supposed to be red. [snort] You can't fool me with color! For example, in addition to the Charles Jolie? Blow off the Catawba Crape Myrtle and go with Velma's Royal Delight. Butterfly Bushes? You want dark? Black Knight. Magenta? Royal Red. Decent, regular purple? Potter's Purple or Guenivere. (I have another, but the name is again escaping me.) I'm really into eggplant-colored purple. If I can't get red? That's my next choice. And when I say red, I don't mean pink or orange. If you want red, go for ... what? Oh. That's another thread. :) Christine...See MoreGinny McLean_Petite_Garden
