Key Features:

  • Size & Growth: The Bloomerang® Lilac typically grows to a height of 4 to 5 feet with a similar spread. Its compact, bushy growth habit makes it suitable for smaller gardens and landscape spaces.

  • Foliage: Features heart-shaped, dark green leaves that provide a lush, attractive backdrop for the vibrant blooms. The foliage is dense and maintains its appearance throughout the growing season.

  • Flowers: Produces clusters of fragrant, lavender-purple flowers that emerge in mid-spring and continue to bloom intermittently through summer and fall. Each flower cluster is made up of numerous small blooms that create a visually appealing and aromatic display.

  • Blooming Time: Blooms from mid-spring to fall, with the first wave of blooms typically appearing in May. Subsequent bloom cycles occur throughout the growing season, providing an extended period of floral interest.

  • Disease Resistance: Known for its resistance to common pests and diseases affecting lilacs, including powdery mildew. This makes Bloomerang® a low-maintenance choice that performs reliably under various conditions.

  • Soil & Light Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. Providing ample sunlight and ensuring good drainage are key for optimal growth and flowering.

  • Care Instructions: Requires minimal maintenance once established. Regular watering during dry periods helps keep the plant hydrated, but it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Applying mulch around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds. Light pruning after the first bloom cycle can help maintain the plant’s shape and encourage additional blooms.

Uses:

  • Ornamental: Ideal for adding vibrant color and fragrance to garden beds, borders, and containers. The Bloomerang® Lilac provides a striking display that enhances any garden design.
  • Focal Point: Perfect as a focal point in the garden, where its continuous blooms and delightful fragrance can be fully appreciated.
  • Container Gardening: Suitable for containers and patio gardens, where its compact size and beautiful blooms can enhance outdoor spaces.

Planting & Maintenance:

  • Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container. Space multiple plants about 4 to 5 feet apart to accommodate their mature spread.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and during dry periods to establish the plant. Once established, it requires less frequent watering. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.
  • Pruning: Prune after the first bloom cycle in early summer to remove spent flowers and shape the plant. This encourages additional blooms and maintains the plant’s appearance.

Add the timeless charm and extended bloom period of Bloomerang® Lilac to your garden. Its vibrant flowers, delightful fragrance, and low-maintenance care make it a valuable and versatile addition to any landscape design.
