Dark Purple Bloomerang Lilac (SYRINGA X BLOOMERANG® DK PURPLE)
Fragrant, dark purple flowers explode in spring and then again in mid-summer and continue right up until frost. Its compact, full growth habit, and small leaves make it the perfect shrub for smaller gardens.
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun. Tolerates light shade, but best bloom is in full sun. Prefers organically rich, moist, neutral to slightly alkaline soils with good drainage. Needs good air circulation. Good tolerance for urban conditions. Prune as needed immediately after flowering to remove spent flower heads and increase reblooming. Do not prune from fall to the spring bloom. This will reduce the spring flower display.
