NOTE: This listing is for cuttings of this plant, no roots. We do not guarantee your personal success in rooting these successfully as we have no ability or say with how it will be cared for (lighting, medium choice, watering habits, airflow, etc…) and cannot be responsible for issues that arise from situations we have no control over, including our hardiness zone and care recommendations. You will find our rooting instructions below and recommendations for care and hardiness zones.

WEATHER NOTE: Because we ship from Ohio, we will not guarantee how your items will arrive if you do not add a heat pack to your order when temperatures are below 40° in the shipping state and surrounding areas. Be mindful of transit times and we recommend upgrading your shipping if you reside on the West Coast.

Rooting Instructions for Pink Lilac (Syringa vulgaris):
1. Optional Rooting Hormone: Dip the cutting in rooting hormone to promote quicker and more reliable rooting.
