BLOOMERANG® Dark Purple Lilac
Syringa 'SMSJBP7' (PW)
This round shrub's deep purple blooms make it perfect for foundation planting, creating a vibrant and elegant statement in your outdoor space. Like nearly all lilacs, Bloomerang Lilac actually requires a period of cold weather in order to bloom well. This is why lilacs are not typically suited to warmer climates. However, they are very, very cold tolerant and thrive in climates as cold as USDA zone 3.
Prune immediatly after spring bloom if needed. Never cut back in fall, winter, or ealry spring.
