Description:
As graceful as its name, Bloomerang Ballet® delivers a long season of perfume and color—an abundant spring performance, a brief intermission, then an encore from late summer into fall. This compact, well-branched lilac pairs lovely pink blooms with notably clean foliage, making it a reliable choice for small spaces, containers, and cut-flower gardens.
Care Tips: Plant in full sun and well-drained soil; lilacs dislike soggy sites. Keep evenly moist (not wet) the first season; mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temps. For best rebloom, encourage vigorous post-spring growth with sun, consistent moisture, and an optional light feeding after the spring flush. Prune only right after spring bloom if shaping is desired; avoid fall/winter pruning to preserve next spring’s buds. Cold winters enhance flowering; this variety is very hardy.
Landscape Uses:
Foundations and mixed borders • Low flowering hedge • Containers (patio/entry) • Mass plantings • Pollinator gardens • Cut-flower plantings
