Repeat-flowering lilac 'Dark Purple'®

FamilyOleaceae

Syringa × Bloomerang 'Dark Purple'® is a reblooming hybrid lilac known for its intense and extended purple-red bloom. This deciduous shrub develops a compact and rounded habit, slightly wider than tall, ideal for flowerbeds, borders, and plantings near the house. Its abundant first bloom in spring is followed by summer reblooming until the frosts, offering an exceptional colorful presence. The fragrant flowers attract pollinators and contrast elegantly with the glossy dark green foliage, which is disease resistant. Easy to maintain and very hardy, Syringa × Bloomerang 'Dark Purple'® prefers well-drained soil and a sunny exposure to maximize its repeated flowering. It is an excellent choice for northern gardens seeking lasting color and compactness.
