About Proven Winners®: Proven Winners® ColorChoice Shrubs offers flowering shrubs, evergreens, and trees that have been tested for eight to ten years to ensure they outperform conventional varieties.

Planting & Care
1. Planting: Scentara® Double Blue plants thrive in full sun and need well-drained, medium-moist soils. They can tolerate filtered sunlight but prefer full sun. To plant, dig a hole that is at least 50% wider than the container. Remove the plant by turning the pot upside down and tapping the bottom. If it's stuck, gently squeeze the container until it releases. Position the shrub so the top of the root ball is slightly above the hole's edge. If needed, adjust the soil in the hole before placing the plant. Fill in the hole with soil, lightly packing it around the roots without over-compacting. Finally, water the plants thoroughly after planting.
2. Watering: In the first few weeks, it is crucial to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. The plant has average water needs and can adapt to both dry and moist conditions; however, it cannot tolerate standing water or soggy soil.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize at planting time or in early spring after the ground has thawed and again in late spring after it has finished its first bloom.
4. Pruning: Lilacs bloom on old wood, so they should only be pruned after their spring bloom. It is best to avoid trimming or cutting back; instead, shape them selectively and carefully.
