If you are hunting for a reblooming lilac that has a wonderful scent, then the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac is hard to beat. Loaded with scent, it produces stunning purple-to-pink blooms that seem to change between the two colors depending on when you look at it. Unlike some other Syringa varieties, this lilac reblooms from spring until the end of summer. With a maximum height of around 5 feet, this lilac is ideal for many garden spots.
Being resistant to deer, the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac is perfect for growing in rural areas where deer can be a problem. The repeating blooms give off a heavenly scent and will tempt you to cut a few stems to pop in a vase for the home. With good resistance against disease, the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac is a reliable performer and suitable for growing in zones 3 to 7. It is perfect for growing as a specimen shrub, at the back of a border or as a low and attractive hedge.
Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac Care
To get the best from this shrub it should be grown in full sun and on a fertile and free-draining soil that is alkaline to neutral. Regular watering is required to prevent the soil from completely drying out, especially after planting and for the first season or two. Since lilacs prefer rich soil, an annual mulch of garden compost will help give them a boost in nutrition. Fertilizing lilacs is not strictly necessary, although on poor soil you can apply a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen to support blooming.
The flowers of the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac are produced on both new and old wood. If pruning is needed, you can trim this shrub right after the first flush of flowers has finished.
Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac Spacing
In the right conditions, the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac can reach a height and spread of 3 to 5 feet by 2 to 3 feet. If you are planning on growing more than one of these magnificent shrubs together, a spacing of 2 to 3 feet between plants is advisable.

?
"Blooms on" tells you which stems produce flowers, which decides when it's safe to prune.
- New Wood: Flowers form on stems that grow this season. Prune in late winter or early spring without losing blooms.
- Old Wood: Flower buds form on last year's stems. Prune right after flowering. Pruning in fall or early spring removes next year's blooms.
- Both New and Old Wood: Blooms on last year's stems and again on new growth, so it flowers even after a hard winter or a mistimed pruning. Prune lightly after the first flush of blooms.
