The Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac Syringa x 'SMSJBP7' is a horticultural breakthrough, extending the classic lilac season from just a few weeks in spring to a multi-month floral event. This vigorous, mounded shrub features fragrant, dark purple blooms that emerge in late spring, take a brief rest, and then rebloom from mid-summer until the first frost. Its compact size and exceptional disease resistance make it a perfect fit for modern landscapes, foundation plantings, or large containers.

Make sure you live within USDA Zones 3-8 by checking our Grow Zone Guide.

Planting

Select a site with well-drained, organically rich soil. Avoid "wet feet," as lilacs cannot tolerate soggy conditions. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Ensure the crown is level with the soil surface to prevent rot.

Pruning

Prune immediately after the initial spring bloom. This encourages new growth, which is where the summer rebloom occurs. Never prune in fall, winter, or early spring, as you will accidentally remove the dormant flower buds.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. A second light application can be done after the spring flowering cycle ends to support the vigorous growth needed for reblooming.

Winter Preparation

In colder regions, apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base (keeping it away from the trunk) to insulate roots. Because this variety is hardy to Zone 3, it handles extreme cold well without additional wrapping or protection.
