Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac Care

To get the best from this shrub it should be grown in full sun and on a fertile and free-draining soil that is alkaline to neutral. Regular watering is required to prevent the soil from completely drying out, especially after planting and for the first season or two. Since lilacs prefer rich soil, an annual mulch of garden compost will help give them a boost in nutrition. Fertilizing lilacs is not strictly necessary, although on poor soil you can apply a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen to support blooming. 

The flowers of the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac are produced on both new and old wood. If pruning is needed, you can trim this shrub right after the first flush of flowers has finished.

Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac Spacing

In the right conditions, the Bloomerang® Purpink™ Reblooming Lilac can reach a height and spread of 3 to 5 feet by 2 to 3 feet. If you are planning on growing more than one of these magnificent shrubs together, a spacing of 2 to 3 feet between plants is advisable.
