We can find a lot of garden opportunities for this dwarf, reblooming Lilac, and we think you will, too. Clusters of purple-pink, sweet-scented flowers cover its branches in spring and continue off and on until frost. Bloomerang™ fits in small spaces and is an excellent choice for a fragrant, low hedge. 'Penda' PPAF. One gallon pot 6 1/2" by 6 1/2".
Bloomerang™ forms a bushy plant with small leaves. Its bloodline includes four different Lilac species (it's a hybrid of Syringa patula x macrophylla x meyeri x juliana). Plants bloom heavily in the spring, take a resting period, and then start up again in mid-summer and continue until cold weather. The second period of bloom is not as full as that in the spring, but still showy.
Plants are best pruned right after the spring bloom, as this creates a fuller shrub with more branches and thus more flowers. Every stem can produce flowers in summer. Bloomerang™ is mildew resistant, too.
Lilacs are among the best-known, classic spring-flowering shrubs. For generations of reliable bloom and sweet fragrance, generally before Memorial Day, these sturdy shrubs are in a class by themselves. Most Lilacs prefer full sun and neutral to slightly alkaline soil.
I am always on the lookout for something new to plant in the garden and this variety of Lilacs
looks like a winner for me. They are smaller and continue to bloom on new growth while being low
maintenance. Perfect! I will check with local nursery's to see if they plan on stocking this variety, I hope so.
