Josee Reblooming Lilac

Josee is a compact, rounded lilac with lavender-pink, fragrant flower panicles in spring and intermittent rebloom later in the season. Plan for a 4–6-foot shrub with a comparable spread; the grower lists USDA Zones 2–8. [Spring Meadow Nursery](https://springmeadownursery.com/plantfinder/josee-81300) identifies the selection and its flowering profile, while [Spring Hill Nurseries](https://springhillnursery.com/products/josee_reblooming_lilac_collection-syringa_josee) provides cultivation details. ## Site and seasonal interest Plant in sun for the heaviest flowering; partial shade is also listed. Use it as a small hedge, mixed-border shrub, foundation planting, or specimen where its scent can be enjoyed. It prefers well-drained soil and adapts to neutral or alkaline conditions. Flowers begin in late spring and may return intermittently through summer and toward frost when adequate moisture is available. ## Maintenance Prune after the main spring bloom only if shaping is needed. Spring Meadow notes this can delay but encourage later rebloom. Water during establishment and warm dry spells to support repeat flowering.
