Syringa x ‘SMSJBP7’ (Bloomerang® Dark Purple)
Why settle for lilacs that bloom just once when you can enjoy months of color and fragrance with Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac? This reblooming beauty bursts into life in mid to late spring with large, deep purple buds that open to classic lilac-colored flowers, filling the air with their signature scent. After a short rest, it blooms again from summer through fall, right up until frost.
- Reblooming: Enjoy fragrant flowers not just in spring, but again from summer to fall.
- Disease-Resistant: No worrying about unsightly white or brown foliage.
- Low-Maintenance: Naturally forms a neat, rounded shape with minimal pruning.
- Sun-Loving & Deer-Resistant: Thrives in full sun and stands strong against browsing deer.
For the best rebloom, plant in full sun with well-drained soil, keep it well-watered, and mulch to maintain moisture. If pruning, do so right after the spring bloom—never in fall, winter, or early spring—to avoid cutting off next season’s flowers. Cold-hardy down to USDA zone 3, this lilac thrives in chilly climates but requires winter cold to bloom well.
