This shrub tends to grow upright with fountainlike, long branches that arch gracefully near the ends. Every branch on this reblooming lilac produces flowers, which makes for a gorgeous, fragrant display.
Bloomerang is also resistant to common lilac diseases such as powdery mildew , and deer tend to leave it alone.

It can also be deadheaded , which allows the plant to focus its energy on growth instead of producing seeds. You can also use a fertilizer formulated specifically for woody plants to encourage Bloomerang to continue growing.
Still, even if you don't prune or fertilize, the plant will keep growing and reblooming. There are two approaches for integrating companion plants with this reblooming lilac. First, pair it with perennials and shrubs that bloom along with the lilac flowers in early spring, such as bleeding heart , Solomon's seal , Siberian iris , catmint , and azalea.
Or, you can pair this reblooming lilac with shrubs and plants that flower when Bloomerang lilac is taking its early to midsummer rest, such as daylilies , Asiatic lilies , and purple coneflower , as well as phlox , which spans the season.
Good late-summer and fall-flowering companions include evening primrose , sedum , and mums. Bloomerang lilac's reputation as a reliable rebloomer with nearly one-of-a-kind color has held up for over a decade now, so you can plant it in your garden with confidence.
Like other lilac varieties, its blooms also work well as cut flowers , keeping a vase stocked with fragrant blooms for months during the growing season. Whether you enjoy it indoors and out, Bloomerang will provide you with some of the best lilac flowers you can grow.

You get a well-rooted, healthy variety delivered right to your door Turn a dull landscape into a plush garden with colorful Lilac that returns every year. Planting: Lilacs can tolerate full sun to partial shade but prefer 6 hours of sun for the best blooms. In warmer climates, plant your Lilacs in afternoon shade so that they are not exposed to the hot afternoon sun.
Lilacs prefer rich, moist soil as well. After choosing your area, dig a hole that is twice as wide and just as deep as the container that the plant arrives in. Place your plant in the hole so that the top of the soil is even with the surrounding soil level.
Back fill with soil, water after every few inches to remove any air pockets, and tamp down when done. Watering: Water once or twice a week sometimes more in extreme heat , allowing the soil to dry 1 to 2 inches down before watering again. Fertilizing: Fertilize Lilacs in early spring before bloom with a well-balanced fertilizer. Planting depth is important with all new shrubs.
Match the soil level of the potted plant with that of the garden soil. Do not plant any deeper than this.
You can plant is a bit higher than the garden soil level if you need better drainage. Mulch is fine but not more than 3" and not up against the stem. Water immediatly, and keep the soil most but not wet during the first season.
Once established it should require less water. I planted mine in May. It is growing beautifully. Can I expect it to bloom this year? If your plant is growing - the new stems will form flowers this year - typically starting in in July.
I live in Michigan. One is thriving and ready to rebloom. Half of the other plant is green and trying to grow, and the other half of the plant, the leaves are dry and curled and looks like it's dying. I pulled all the leaves off the one side, in hopes that it would produce new leaf growth.
So far, it hasn't. What is wrong with the plant? I thought I saw a small green worm of some kind on it when I pulled the leaves off. Can I treat it? The nursery I purchased it from, told me to bring it back next year in the spring and he will replace it. The other is about times it's size already.
I saw a comment on another website that says it gets mildew and doesn't rebloom that well in hot temperatures. I live near Fort Worth, TX, and gets really hot here and already is. Would I dare plant it this time of the year? Also, would it not do well here considering we have degrees most every day during the summer months starting about 2 weeks ago! Thanks so much for your help. Lilac is typically not a plant for such hot climates.
I would think Bloomerang is no exception. I live in Kansas and I planted a bloomerang and we have been having extreme heat over with index and it is looking really good. It has the same blooming properties, similar leaves and flowers as the hybrids you are describing.
I rooted several branch ends of the original tree. My original plant is now over 25 years old. It is 15 feet high, grows from several main stalks in a rounded weeping shape with a circumference of at least 20 feet.
The plant blooms heavily in the spring with an overwhelming scent of lilac. Neighbors and those passing by can smell the fragrance and continually remark about the fragrance and the beauty of the tree. By September, you may see a few random blooms. This plant has weathered harsh Ohio winters and salt splashed from the roadway. It has never needed to be trimmed nor has it become leggy like many of the new varieties.
Since my tree is not this hybrid, what is it? There was a time, long ago, when roses bloomed but once in the spring. How glad I am that someone helped it become a rebloomer. Lilac is wonderful, once, or more than once. And for me, more than once is just prolongs the joy. I live in New Jersey. The garden center told me to prune it down to the ground in the late fall.
Is this correct? Do not prune Bloomerang back to the ground. The best time to prune it is right after it flowers in spring. Just give it a hair cut to build the body and shape of the plant. Once it is to the size and shape you want there is no nee to prune it. It does not need to be pruned to flower a second time. Bloomerang Lilac is a fast growing shrub so trim it often when it is young to build a good body.
Once the plant reaches the height you want and has a good bushy habit, little to no pruning is necessary. If you do prune an established plant - is should be done right after the first bloom, otherwise you will lose flowers.
While you do not have to prune the plant after the first flowering to get it to rebloom, this often stimulates more growth and thus more flowers. Planted my Bloomerang a little over a month ago and has put on at least 2 inches in height and width, very healthy foliage and even the torrential rains from both Irene and Lee, the plant hasn't skipped a beat. I can't wait till next spring to see and smell the flowers.
Its my first Lilac and I chose it because its a rebloomer. I actually moved and replaced an entire row of plants to accommodate Bloomerang so I hope the show that I expect comes to fruition.
I planted it immediately. It is about 12"" tall with beautiful blooms on most branches. I was so excited to see them at the end of October as I've been watching for them. They were there upon my return from vacation. They still look great and look healthy. I'll be looking forward to spring. From what I'm reading, I don't really have to prune, especially after this fall blooming session. I will see after the spring bloom.
Any suggestions? Oh, I live in Ohio. You do not have to prune Bloomerang to get it to bloom a second time, but pruning is recommended to build a bushy plant during the first few years in the garden. The best time to prune in immediately after the spring bloom.
