Proven Winners Syringa Bloomerang

Unlike traditional lilacs that bloom once in spring, the Bloomerang produces a heavy flush of flowers in late spring, rests briefly, and then continues to push out new, fragrant purple blooms periodically from summer through fall.

Yes, its compact 4-foot size makes it an excellent candidate for large containers. Just ensure the pot has adequate drainage and that you monitor soil moisture, as container plants dry out faster than those in the ground.

Yes, for the best flower production and reblooming performance, this shrub needs at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Planting it in partial shade will likely result in fewer flowers and a less vigorous plant.

Yes, this lilac is generally avoided by deer. While no plant is 100% deer-proof if food sources are scarce, it is a reliable choice for gardens where deer pressure is a concern.

Very little maintenance is required. While you don't need to deadhead to encourage reblooming, a light trim after the first spring flush can help shape the shrub and stimulate fresh growth for the summer and fall cycles.

The Bloomerang is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 7. If you live in a colder climate within this range, it will go dormant in winter and return in the spring.
