Latin Name: Syringa Bloomerang® 'Dark Purple' ('SMSJBP7')

Common Name: Bloomerang Dark Purple Reblooming Lilac

Zones: 3–7

Height & Spread: 4–5 feet tall, spreading 3–4 feet wide

Descriptive Features: A groundbreaking reblooming lilac and one of the deepest, most saturated colors in the Bloomerang® series, valued for extending the classic lilac experience well beyond the traditional two-week spring window. Forms a compact, rounded, dense shrub of oval, deep green leaves. Fragrant, rich purple flower panicles put on a heavy show in late spring, followed by a rest period in the heat of summer, then a reliable second flush of bloom that continues from late summer into fall — offering months of the sweet, classic lilac scent rather than just a brief spring display. Its smaller, more compact stature compared to traditional lilacs makes it especially versatile for foundation plantings, mixed borders, and smaller garden spaces, in addition to hedging and mass plantings. Highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds, and deer-resistant. Best in full sun for maximum bloom, with well-drained, fertile soil; deadheading spent spring blooms can encourage a stronger summer rebloom. Low-maintenance and cold-hardy, requiring little pruning to maintain its naturally tidy form. An excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, hedges, or cutting gardens in full sun.
