The Bloomerang Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac is a best seller bred by Proven Winners ColorChoice. The number 1 complaint for lilacs is how short the bloom season is. This shrub solves that problem by reblooming once or twice after the initial bloom! The first bloom is in mid to late spring. Then the plant takes a quick break, before blooming again in late summer, which lasts through the first frost. There are purple colored flowers that bloom during spring/summer/fall. The flowers bloom on both old & new wood, which mean the flower buds are grown on branches grown the prior year and also the branches that are part of the new growth of the plant. While no plants are truly deer proof, these plants are deer resistant. The Bloomerang Dark Purple Lilac will also attract butterflies & many other pollinators when in bloom!
In garden planters, use this in the thriller role. Those are plants with drama and that add height or a vertical element to the combination. These are typically in the center or the back of the container. Consider growing these in garden planters or containers for added flexibility on locations limited on space or sunlight. The Bloomerang Dark Purple Lilac typically grows 4-6 feet tall, and 4-6 feet wide. For best plant health and results, space these plants 4-7 feet apart, center on center. The growth habit is mounded. These shrubs are sun loving and can handle the hottest summer days. It is deer resistant but attracts pollinators including butterflies of course! Plant these in a location that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It is winter hardy in growing zones 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b.
Interesting Fact(s) - The name of Syringa is from the Greek word syrinx, which means tube. The stems of lilacs contain a spongy center that you can remove that creates a hollow tube.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
