Hello Kathy, Put me down for that beauty if you still have it!!
Btw- your lilacs all caught the fungus last year. I had to give them an extreme pruning. They were kind of all over the place in height. Last month I noticed about 50 shoots growing up around the basis of them. The beautiful new lilac bushes. I’m very excited. I’ll be happy to give you a couple if you’d like.
