Crimson Doll Lilac is a compact deciduous shrub with a mounding habit and heart shaped clean green foliage. Huge clusters of rosy red buds open to fragrant, light red-pink flowers that lighten as they mature bloom in spring. Best flowering with full sun and rich, moist well-drained neutral soils. Crimson Doll is disease resistant and has the potential to rebloom in summer.
