About Bloomerang® Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac

Bloomerang® Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac (Syringa ‘SMSJBP7’) is a robust and versatile shrub, featuring deep purple blooms, especially in bud. This deciduous shrub grows to 4-6 feet in height and width, making it ideal for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and decorative containers. Known for its exceptional disease resistance and fragrant flowers, it attracts pollinators like butterflies and offers continuous color from spring through fall. Blooming first in mid to late spring, it takes a brief rest and then reblooms from mid to late summer through to frost. Deer-resistant and thriving in various climates, Bloomerang® Dark Purple is a standout addition to any garden.

How to Grow Bloomerang® Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac

Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac thrives in full sun and is hardy in USDA Zones 3-7, tolerating temperatures as low as -40°F. This lilac blooms on both old and new wood, producing large, dark purple flowers in mid to late spring. After a brief rest, it reblooms from mid to late summer through to frost. For best results, plant in well-drained soil with a pH level of 5.6 – 6.2 and ensure it receives at least six hours of sunlight daily.

Maintain moderate watering and prune immediately after the spring bloom to encourage vigorous new growth and reblooming. Avoid pruning in fall, winter, or early spring to preserve the flower buds. Keeping the plant well-watered and mulched during late spring and early summer supports its vigorous growth and enhances the rebloom.

Add Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac to your garden for a season-long display of rich, fragrant blooms. Its exceptional reblooming ability and robust growth make it an excellent choice for both cooler and warmer climates.
