Unlike many lilacs, 'Josée' is a relatively compact, diminutive shrub. Growing to just one-and-a-half metres tall and wide, this variety can easily be grown in a large patio pot, as well as in sunny beds and borders. One of the best things about lilacs is their fragrance; heady, intoxicating and floral, it's often the case that you can smell a jasmine before you see one! 'Josée' is no exception, radiating a wonderful scent for you to enjoy during periods of flowering. See how we said periods just then? That's because, with this lilac, you often get additional flushes of flowers throughout the summer! This repeat flowering is particularly prominent in cooler conditions. The flowers are held against a lush backdrop of deciduous green foliage, which does a fantastic job of letting the blooms really sing. This lilac is also a good pick if you're looking to bolster your garden's pollinator presence; bees and butterflies are both partial to visiting the plant's nectar-rich flowers.
