Bring months of lilac color and fragrance to your landscape with Syringa × 'Bloomerang(R) Dark Purple', a compact reblooming lilac that flowers heavily in spring, then rests briefly before blooming again from mid-summer into fall. The large, deep purple flower clusters are showy and sweetly scented, making this a great choice near patios, walkways, and entry gardens where you can enjoy the perfume up close.

Plant it where it will receive at least six hours of direct sun for the best bloom and a dense, rounded habit; it will tolerate part shade, but heavier shade can reduce flowering. Give your shrub well-drained soil, and avoid sites that stay wet or poorly drained, especially in winter. Water regularly as it establishes, then provide supplemental water during extended dry spells. Once established, it handles average moisture and typical garden soils well.

At maturity it typically reaches about 48-84 inches tall with a similar spread (about 48-72 inches), fitting nicely into mixed borders, foundation plantings, and flowering screens. Prune right after the spring bloom if you need to shape it, since summer flowers are produced on new growth. For best results, keep mulch a few inches back from the stems, and enjoy reliable, repeat lilac blooms through much of the growing season.
