Bloomerang® Lilac

Bloomerang® Dark Purple is the exact selection identified by code SMSJBP7. It forms a mounded shrub with fragrant, deep-purple spring flowers and a later flush that can continue from summer into fall. It is listed at roughly 4–6 feet tall and wide and hardy in USDA Zones 3–7; [Proven Winners](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/syringa/bloomerang-dark-purple-reblooming-lilac-syringa-x) identifies its growing profile, and the [plant patent](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP26549P2/en) confirms the cultivar denomination and grant date. ## Placement and use Give this lilac full sun and well-drained soil; the grower recommends good drainage and regular moisture during active growth. Its rounded form suits a mixed border, foundation planting, container, or cut-flower use. After spring flowering, the plant pauses for new growth before repeating later in the season. ## Maintenance Prune only just after spring bloom if a tidy outline is desired. Heavy or poorly timed pruning can remove buds or delay rebloom. Keep plants watered and mulched through late spring and early summer while new growth is forming.
