Bloomerang® Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac (Syringa)

Bloomerang Dark Purple displays very large dark purple buds emerging in mid to late spring. They 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. It is noted for its exceptional disease resistance. Neat, rounded shape looks good in the landscape or garden, attracts butterflies and resists deer.

Bloomerang Dark Purple reaches 4-6 feet tall and wide at maturity. It is hardy in zones 3-7, plant in full sun (6+ hours daily). Requires well-drained soil; lilacs cannot tolerate soggy, wet conditions. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and early summer.

Prune immediately after its spring bloom, if desired. Never cut it back in fall, winter, or early spring - doing so will remove the spring flower buds. It is not necessary to prune Bloomerang lilac in order for it to rebloom.

1 gallon shrubs are 6-24 inches tall at shipment and quart shrubs are 5-8 inches tall at shipment depending on the season and plant.
