I ordered two of both of these. They were well packaged and in condition when I removed them. It’s too cold to plant them yet so I have them under plant lights and they are doing well. I have never seen yellow lilacs. I hope they thrive when planted.

Was unsure about purchasing plants online. Plant arrived in excellent condition. The plant was packed in a plastic bag filled with moisture. Planted the lilac the next day in a large pit with miracle grow. 6 weeks later the plant has grown about 5 inches. It looks green and healthy. Waiting patiently until next year to see the flowers and smell the fragrance. Although I felt the price was spendy I would purchase it again. Nothing like a healthy plant to watch growing.

I received this product late in the summer season/early fall of 2017. Since I live in Indiana I was worried about the plant not surviving the winter. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see my plant growing, flourishing, and already creating small flowers. It has now doubled in size and even though it is in an area of my yard that no matter what I do to keep the soil moist/properly watered; the plant is growing great and is officially the only plant to survive in that small region of soil I used to nickname "where plants go to die." I highly recommend this vendor and even a novice green thumb will be able to excel with this plant.

It’s very tiny, in a extra small pot, it’s difficult to tell how this will turn out. Only time will tell, but from the looks of it that will not be until 3-4 years from the size of this plant.Update, on June 5th 2019, this plant died, given all necessary nutrients and weather conditions, protecting this plant, bringing it indoors. This died never growing the way it should have. I wouldn’t waste your money on one of these plants. Your better getting them from your local nursery, you will get a better price, be able to see it first hand and have a one year warranty. With this place you get none of these things but a loss of your money and dead plant.

It just arrived today, but was well packed, looks very healthy, and is dormant as it should be this time of year. The description says 'quart pot' and i don't think it as even a pint, but it seems to be an excellent plant well worth they money and it was shipped promptly. It is also encourging that there is field label on the plant. Several times I've bought lilacs at home center stores that were NOT as labeled. Here in Illinois, stores usually don't have lilacs until spring is well on its way, and it is MUCH better to plant in early spring. A Clemson University certification was attached to the box. It also identifies the grower as Newlife Nursery and Garden, 314 Hwy. 8 East, Pelzer, SC 29669. I don't know what they grow and what the resell, but so far, I am VERY pleased with this purchase.

Received the plant in good/healthy condition, well packaged/wrapped too, and planted it right away. Had a couple of rainy days right after so did not have to water it yet and it looks great. It is small so I assume it will take a few years until I see the first flowers, but so far it looks as it should look.UPDATE ON 8/8/2018 - a little bit more than a year later my plant looks stunning (see second photo). It's strong and more than double the size. I literally don't have to do any care, the sun and rain it gets seems to be sufficient. BTW, I live in Connecticut and the plant gets at least 4-5 hours of sun a day. No flowers yet, but that's not surprising... hoping for next year. It was a great purchase, I'm very satisfied.

Item arrived larger than I had hoped for so that was exciting. It was packaged so well that none of the soil fell out. I added water to it after it arrived even though it was still damp from shipping. I waited a full day before planting and kept it in the shade indoors until then. It seems to be thriving already and I can't wait to see what it looks like by the end of the summer. I'm ready to smell this gorgeous plant. I'm not sure how old it has to be for that to happen. This is my first Lilac plant. I planted it in a huge pot (with smaller plants, in the back yard where I sit out to let my dog play. I will repot it into a pot by itself when it's large enough to need more room. I'm already trying to figure out what my next purchase from this seller will be. So many awesome plants to choose from.
