Syringa x hybrida 'Bloomerang Ballet'

The Story

Plant Bio

A compact, reblooming lilac that produces an initial heavy bloom in spring, followed by continuous smaller flushes of flowers from mid-summer until the first frost.

Bloomerang Pink Perfume ('SMNSHPF') is noted for its exceptionally fragrant, soft pink flowers and its strong reblooming performance, providing color and scent for multiple seasons.

Uses & Benefits:

Ornamental UsesProvides multi-season interest with its fragrant pink flowers that bloom in spring and then rebloom from summer to fall. Its compact, rounded habit is attractive in mixed borders and foundation plantings.
Practical UsesIts small size makes it suitable for urban gardens, patios, and container planting. The fragrant flowers are excellent for cutting and bringing indoors. It is also deer resistant.
Ecological BenefitsThe fragrant flowers attract a wide range of pollinators, including butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, providing a food source beyond the typical spring lilac season.

Planting

How to Grow

  1. Select a site that receives at least six hours of direct sun daily.
  2. Ensure the soil is well-drained; amend with compost if needed.
  3. Dig a hole twice the width of the container.
  4. Place the plant in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil.
  5. Backfill with soil and water thoroughly to settle.
  6. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Pro Tip

For the best rebloom, give it a light trim right after the initial spring flowering concludes, which encourages new growth and more flower buds.

Keep It Thriving

Care Guide

Do

  • Plant in full sun for maximum flower production.
  • Provide good air circulation to minimize powdery mildew.
  • Water during dry spells, especially in the first year.
  • Deadhead spent spring flowers promptly to promote reblooming.

Don't

  • Do not plant in waterlogged or poorly drained soil.
  • Avoid heavy pruning, which can remove future flower buds.
  • Don't fertilize late in the season, as it can push tender new growth.
  • Avoid overhead watering to help prevent fungal diseases.
