Syringa × prestoniae 'Bloomerang Ballet'

Syringa × prestoniae ‘Bloomerang Ballet’, known as Bloomerang Ballet Lilac, is a remarkable ornamental shrub admired for its abundant flowering and exceptionally intense fragrance. This modern variety of Preston lilac boasts a dense, rounded, and very elegant habit, making it perfect for borders, flowering hedges, or as a focal point in landscape designs. In spring, it produces large panicles of delicately fragrant pale pink flowers, emitting a sweet and sugary scent particularly enjoyed in the garden. Its most sought-after feature is its reblooming capability: after the spring bloom, a second wave of flowers appears in summer and sometimes extends into early autumn when conditions are favorable. Its deciduous dark green foliage forms a dense and healthy backdrop that highlights the flowers. Very hardy and easy to cultivate, it strongly attracts pollinators while being highly resistant to harsh winters.
