Lilacs

Don't settle for lilacs that bloom just once a year - get Bloomerang^® lilac and enjoy months of blooms instead of just weeks.

Bloomerang Purple lilac is the original reblooming lilac. It blooms in spring along with other lilacs, takes a brief rest to put on new growth, then blooms again from mid-summer through fall. A bit smaller than other lilacs, Bloomerang also has a nice, rounded shape that looks great anywhere you plant it in the landscape. Star-like flowers are a beautiful shade of classic lilac purple and are sweetly scented.

Get ready to debate! Are the flowers on Bloomerang Purpink^® a lovely shade purple or are they pale pink? We couldn’t decide, so we combined them in the name to let you decide. The real conversation starts when you see just how many blooms it puts out in the spring and again later on in the summer. It’s one of the most prolific rebloomers in our series, which is saying something! It belongs in a highly visible spot in your garden, like near a front door or by your driveway.
