Common Lilac in Full Bloom (the species)Common Lilac in Full Bloom (the species)New Age Lavender is the lilac for people who love the smell but not the upkeep. It holds at four to five feet, so it fits under a window or runs as a low hedge, and it was bred to shrug off the powdery mildew that turns an old lilac chalky white every August. Full size lavender clusters, the real fragrance, on a shrub that stays where you put it.
Off-the-lot means you pick it up and plant it yourself. Planted means we deliver it, plant it right, and back it with our Year One warranty. Tap a price to add it to your list, then send the whole list to Matt in one request. Want several of one tree, or a mix? Add them all and Matt quotes the count.
What does "gallon" mean? It is the size of the container the tree is growing in, not how many trees you get. The bigger the number, the bigger and more established the tree you take home, so a 30 gallon tree gives you shade and privacy years sooner than a 15 gallon one.
Full warranty for one year after planting. This comes with any needed care and free check ups upon request. All needed treatments or pruning are included for first year. If tree fails to thrive, no cost replacement.
Picked, delivered, and planted by a Board Certified Master Arborist.
Follow-up visits through the whole first year, not a wave goodbye.
Deep root feeding and structural pruning while it takes hold.
That is the warranty. No fine print, no chasing us down.
Pick a spot with full sun. This one stays under 20 feet, so it fits close: 8 to 10 feet from the house, a patio, or a fence line. Heavy Missouri clay is not a problem for this tree. Growth rate is medium, so you know what to expect season to season.
Not sure about your spot? Send us a photo of the yard with your quote request and we will tell you straight if it will work.
Water deeply once or twice a week through the first growing season, and step it up in July and August heat. Keep a 2 to 3 inch mulch ring around the base, pulled back from the trunk. Spring and fall are both good planting windows in mid-Missouri.
Or skip the checklist: have us plant it and Year One covers all of this. We feed it, prune it, and come back to check on it.
Request a quote and tell us where it is going. We will confirm availability, delivery, and a planting date.
Straight answers to what people ask before they buy. Anything else, just call.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. New Age Lavender is a patented Bailey Nurseries selection, so every photo of it belongs to somebody and none of them are free for us to publish. What you see on this page is common lilac, Syringa vulgaris, which is the species New Age Lavender was bred from. The flower, the leaf and the fragrance are the same. What you cannot see in these photos is the part you are actually paying for: a plant that stays around four to five feet and does not go chalky with mildew. Come by the lot and we will walk you to one.
That is the whole point of it. An old fashioned common lilac runs eight to fifteen feet, throws suckers, and turns into a thicket with bare legs and flowers only at the top. New Age Lavender was bred to hold four to five feet tall and about as wide, with dense foliage right down to the ground. It works under a window, along a walk, or as a low flowering hedge, where a standard lilac would swallow the spot in six years.
A shrub, and we sell it as a fifteen gallon clump, not a single trunk tree. If you want a lilac with an actual trunk that you can mow under, look at Ivory Silk or China Snow on this site. Those are tree lilacs, twenty feet and up, and they bloom creamy white in June rather than lavender in May. A lot of people end up buying one of each so the lilac season runs from early May into late June.
Yes. Every tree on the lot has an off-the-lot price, you pick it up and plant it yourself. The planted price adds delivery, planting, and the Year One warranty.
Every planted tree comes with follow-up visits, deep root feeding, and structural pruning through its first year. If the tree fails in Year One, we make it right. You can extend it to Year Two for 20 percent and Year Three for 15 percent of the planted price.
Spring and fall are both good windows. Fall planting gives the roots time to settle in before summer heat. Request a quote and we will work out timing with you.
Yes. The whole lot is open to trade buyers. Ask about volume pricing when you reach out.
Tell us the spot and the job. A Board Certified Master Arborist picks with you, plants it right, and stands behind it for Year One.
