Description

The Bloomerang series of reblooming lilacs has come a long way since the introduction of the original, and there's no better evidence of that than Bloomerang Ballet lilac. It's our strongest, most prolific rebloomer yet! After an abundant spring display of fragrant, pink-purple flowers, it takes a brief rest then comes roaring back with a heavy set of flowers in late summer through fall.

Soil

Prefers neutral to alkaline soils, but is fairly adaptable. Good drainage is imperative.

Pruning

Blooms on old and new wood - prune after spring bloom if desired. Doing so will delay rebloom but also encourages it.

Uses

Hedges; mixed borders; foundation plantings; specimen.

Growing Tips

A light trim after spring bloom neatens the plant's appearance and encourages rebloom, though it does delay it slightly.
