Bloomerang Lilac Bush

The classic lilac fragrance you remember from spring — now blooming again in summer and fall on a tidy, compact shrub.

The Bloomerang Lilac reinvents the old-fashioned dooryard lilac for modern, smaller gardens. It opens with a generous flush of richly perfumed purple flowers in mid to late spring, takes a short rest, then reblooms from summer into fall — giving you that unmistakable lilac scent across multiple seasons instead of just one fleeting week. At a mature 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it stays neat and rounded with clean green foliage, making it far easier to place than the towering lilacs of old. Its honey-sweet fragrance draws butterflies and hummingbirds, and the blooms are excellent in a small cutting bouquet.

What I love about it

Lilac season is one of the great joys of spring — and the Bloomerang gives you that joy twice. The spring flush is generous and intensely fragrant, and then it comes back again in summer and fall when most other lilacs are long finished. At 2–3 feet it fits anywhere: beside a porch where you'll catch the scent, along a walkway, in a container on a deck, or grouped into a low informal hedge. It's cold-hardy to Zone 3, deer-resistant, and a magnet for butterflies and hummingbirds. If you've ever wanted a lilac but didn't have the space for a 10-foot shrub, this is your answer.
