Description
The Bloomerang® series of lilacs from Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrubs were selected for their compact habit and incredibly long bloom time. These lilacs have their strongest flush of flowers in late spring, and after a short break, they continue to sporadically bloom midsummer through fall. Enjoy their floriferous performance without worry, as they're rarely bothered by deer or disease, making them stress-free. Between the highly fragrant flowers and easy-growing nature, we're sure you (and the pollinators) will be amazed with Bloomerang® lilacs - year after year.

How to Grow
Light: Tolerates filtered sunlight but prefers full sun.

Spacing: 3ft
Fertilizing: Fertilize at planting time or in early spring once the ground is thawed and once more in late spring after it finishes its first bloom.
Winterizing: Appreciates a winter mulch in the northern parts of its growing range. Bloomerang lilac needs a season of cold weather to bloom well; they thrive in climates as cold as USDA zone 3.
Maintenance & Pruning: If you want to prune, do so immediately after its spring bloom. Never cut back in fall, winter, or early spring as doing so will remove spring flower buds.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
These arrived looking healthy & robust. I have planted with new surrounding soil & B Cow. Fingers crossed they grow into lovely fragrant lilac blooms!!
I couldn't believe how big and beautiful it is. Can't wait to smell the blooms! I love this nursery.
After being re-potted and getting some sun, my pint-size little bush has decided to bloom!! I certainly didn't expect that!
Beautiful
Just got put in the ground, fed it once, put wire basket over in so critters won't get it. Doing well so far.
Order from here frequently and plants are always in great shape.
Very happy with purchase. Plant received in great condition. It's now planted and doing well. Has a few small blooms on it too!

Healthy beautiful plants!
Fast shipping arrived great condition plants doing well in ground!! Would order again
My fault for getting such a small plant, way too small for what I needed, you get what you paid for. Came in poor shape and dry, at the least should have been watered prior to shipping.

Bloomerang® Purpink™ Lilac
But the lilac plants - all of them - arrived in wonderful condition. Seem to be doing very well.
I want to plant a lilac bush in my yard. I like this one because it blooms all summer. I saw online that I can plant a lilac bush in the fall. What do you suggest?
The rule of thumb for fall planting is to get the plants in the ground at least 6 weeks before the first hard frost in your area. You can find more information on frost dates here: https://blog.greatgardenplants.com/frost-dates-explained-gardening-for-each-zone-in-spring-fall/
How long does this shrub take to reach full maturity?
Hello! It typically takes shrubs 3 or more years to reach their full size, depending on what that mature size is and on growing conditions.
I live in AZ. In the summer it can get up to 120 degrees. If I plant it where it gets only morning sun will it be okay?
Hi! Bloomerang® Purpink™ Lilac is rated for USDA zones 3-7. If you live in one of those zones, you should be good to grow. However, most of Arizona is probably going to be too hot for this shrub even if it gets afternoon shade.
How much sun does it need?
Hello! The Bloomerang® Purpink™ Lilac enjoys full sun exposure with 6+ hours of sunlight each day!
I'm taking shoots from one lilac plant, and planting them some where else. What's the best time of year for that.
The best time of year to plant lilac shoots is late spring or early summer.
