Proven Winners® Bloomerang® Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac (Syringa x)

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 while attracting butterflies and resisting deer and rabbits. The neat, rounded shape looks good in the landscape or garden, and is a great choice for foundation plantings.

Care:  Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid summer. A light trim is recommended just after spring bloom. This will give the plant a tidy appearance and encourage a more abundant rebloom, although it will delay it a bit. Trimming isn’t necessary to get the plant to rebloom.
