A Reblooming Lilac that's Perfect for Small Spaces

New dwarf lilac Bloomerang™ covers itself with clusters of purple-pink, sweetly scented blooms in May, and then continues flowering off and on throughout the summer! Reaching just 4-5 feet tall, it fits perfectly in foundation plantings or small gardens. Plant several together and create a fragrant hedge. Lilacs are easy to grow in full sun and average, well-drained soil. These long-lived shrubs will bring years of enjoyment and are hardy in zones 5-7.

The plant we ship is about 5 inches tall and wide, and is growing in a pot that is 4 1/2 inches tall and wide. To view the plant we ship, please click "More Images" at left.

Bloomerang™ forms a bushy plant with small leaves. Its bloodline includes four different lilac species (it's a hybrid of Syringa patula x macrophylla x meyeri x juliana). Plants bloom heavily in the spring, take a resting period, and then start up again in mid-summer and continue until cold weather. The second period of bloom is not as full as that in the spring, but still showy.

Plants are best pruned right after the spring bloom, as this creates a fuller shrub with more branches and thus more flowers. Every stem can produce flowers in summer. Bloomerang™ is mildew resistant, too.

Order early; quantities are limited and are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Plants are shipped from mid-April through June 2010. Sorry, we are unable to ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, APO/FPO addresses, or addresses outside the United States.
