Lilac Bushes for Sale at McKay Nursery

Our massive selection of lilacs is of the highest quality! Lilac bushes are a customer favorite at McKay Nursery. Their robust growth, large blooms, and fragrant smell make them a delightful addition to any garden. Most lilacs grow best when planted in direct sunlight, but they tolerate light shade. Choose an open site, protected from strong, drying winds, where air circulates freely, to reduce the risk of leaves becoming mildewed.

These lilac shrub varieties need organically rich, well-drained soil. Avoid chalky spots, which may cause lime-induced chlorosis, when leaves turn creamy yellow and die. Check out our blog post on Basic Care for Beautiful Lilacs for best practices to care for your new lilac bush.
