Description:
A conversation starter in any garden, Bloomerang Purpink® dazzles with abundant, delightfully scented blooms that read purple to some and pale pink to others—then does it again with a reliable late-season encore. Its tidy size, clean foliage, and prolific rebloom make it a standout for front entries, foundation plantings, and containers.
Care Tips: Plant only in full sun and well-drained soil—lilacs dislike soggy sites. Keep evenly moist (not wet) the first season; mulch to conserve moisture and encourage vigorous post-spring growth for the best rebloom. Blooms on old & new wood. If pruning is desired, do so right after the spring flush; avoid fall/winter pruning to preserve next spring’s buds. Light feeding in early spring and again after spring bloom can boost vigor. Cold winters enhance flowering; extremely hardy to Zone 3.
Landscape Uses:
Foundation plantings • Mixed borders • Low flowering hedge • Specimen near entries/driveways • Containers (patio/porch) • Pollinator & cut-flower gardens
