This member in the exceptional Bloomerang® series of fragrant, reblooming Lilacs is a taller shrub (up to 6' tall), with large flower clusters arrayed luxuriantly on dense branches. Deep purple buds and lavender-blue florets create a striking spring color show followed by intermittent late summer displays. Plant this one in full sun near a porch, deck, or walkway to best enjoy the perfume. A Proven Winners®/Color Choice® variety. 'SMSJBP7' PP 26,549

Bloomerang® forms a bushy plant with small leaves. Its bloodline includes 4 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.

Lilacs are among the best-known, classic spring-flowering shrubs. For generations of reliable bloom and sweet fragrance, generally before Memorial Day, these sturdy shrubs are in a class by themselves. Most Lilacs prefer full sun and neutral to slightly alkaline soil.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.
