Syringa (Reblooming Lilac)
Color Name: Bloomerang® Dark Purple
Big, bold, and beautiful - that's Bloomerang Dark Purple Lilac. Naturally growing as a handsome, rounded shrub, very large dark purple buds emerge in mid to late spring. These open to a classic deep purple-lilac color and perfume the air for weeks. The plant then takes a brief rest to create new growth before it starts to bloom again in mid to late summer, continuing through frost.
Don't settle for lilacs that bloom just once a year - get Bloomerang Lilacs and enjoy months of blooms instead of just weeks. Bloomerang Lilacs are noted for their exceptional disease resistance - no worries about ugly white or brown foliage to spoil the floral show. And like other lilacs, it is sun-loving and deer resistant, so it makes an easy care choice for years of beauty.
Growing Tips: A light trim after spring bloom neatens the plant's appearance and encourages rebloom, though it does delay it slightly.
Soil: Prefers neutral to alkaline soils, but is fairly adaptable. Good drainage is imperative.
Pruning: Blooms on old and new wood - prune after spring bloom if desired. Doing so will delay rebloom but also encourages it.
Uses: Hedges; mixed borders; foundation plantings; specimen.
