Lilac Tree Bloomerang® Dark Purple 10 gallon

Syringa spp.
A handsome tree form with a rounded compact canopy produces very large dark purple buds that emerge in mid to late spring. These open to a classic deep purple-lilac color and perfume the air for weeks. The plant then takes a brief rest to create new growth before it starts to bloom again in mid to late summer, continuing through frost. Plus, it's vigorous and resistant to disease. Just plant it in full sun, soil that's not too wet, and enjoy the show for years to come. Lilacs make excellent sunny border plants for cutting, fragrance, pollinator attraction and hedging. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Little pruning is needed, but deadheading or trimming after flowering in spring for a neater appearance. Fertilize in early spring and mid-summer with a slow release fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Plant with Potentilla, Boxwood and Grasses. A Proven Winners® variety.
