Product Description

Plants are grown at our nursery by experienced growers in dwarf lilac bush shrubs as ready to plant and ready to plant. Plant does best in soil that is well-drained and in full sun to partial shade. It is normal for the plant to be dormant (no leaves) in the late fall and winter. In the spring, it will begin to leaf out.
The beautiful Proven Winners live lilac bush is delivered rooted in the soil, and can be planted immediately once it arrives, provided it is not too cold. The flowers are blooming again! The plant blooms all summer long and into the fall - so it does not only bloom once in the spring.
Shapes that look good in the landscape and garden neat and rounded. Featuring reblooming dark purple flowers, the lilac plant is easy to care for. The plant blooms in spring, and then it blooms again from midsummer to frost, resulting in an unbelievable display.
It is recommended that you plant your dark purple lilac Syringa X Bloomerang in USDA zones 3 to 8 for best results. The mature flower size is 3 to 4 feet tall with a spread of 3 to 4 feet wide. We need to take some precautions to keep these flowers alive through the winter. Plants are carefully packaged for shipment, and special care is taken to ensure the flowers arrive in good condition.
We deliver the Syringa X Bloomearn (Reblooming Lilac) Dark Purple Lilac Shrub directly to your front door in a 2-Gallon Container of #2 Size. As part of the shipment, directions are included for how to take care of these plants, which naturally clean themselves, dropping their spent petals to maintain a tidy garden.

Questions & Answers

The plant is treated with pesticides, isn't it?

The package does not state if it was at some point or not, so we can assume it was. I am thriving at 3 months with this plant, so it must be good.

The city of Pittsburgh is near where I live. How would this plant do in a cold climate?

While I currently live in Boston, I was born in Pittsburgh. Here, it does well, and you can be certain that it will do well there as well!

Does it bloom at certain times of the year?

Blooming occurs in mid to late spring with the Syringa Bloomerang Pink Perfume. They then rest for a while while putting on new growth. They bloom again in midsummer through autumn!

Do you have an idea of the best time of year ?

In the beginning, it was quite small (for the cost), but eventually became quite large and successful. Maybe I planted late in the spring, but I am not sure.

Selected User Reviews For Proven Winners - Syringa x Bloomerang Dark Purple (Reblooming Lilac) Shrub, dark purple flowers, #2 - Size Container

It was well packaged, of good size, and I would buy it again if I had the chance
5/5

As of May 2019, I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that flowers had already appeared! It is very fragrant, and this little bush is very sturdy, staying in good condition throughout the winter in New Hampshire. It was very well wrapped, with plastic around the pot to prevent moisture from getting into it. The plants were not planted for three days after they arrived, as we put them on the covered back porch for that period so that the temperature and humidity levels would remain stable (a/c was running). With most of its branches measuring 30" high, it appears to be an extremely healthy plant. Hundreds of dollars were spent on plants that looked less healthy at this size at local nurseries. The shrub was planted carefully with landscape cloth and white rock around the base and we made sure the shrub would not get ice or snow on it this winter from overhanging tree branches. A few years from now, I look forward to the smell of fragrant flowers!.

I'm looking for a bushy, dense 3 ft tall plant. It has excellent roots and is quite large and large. Due to the cold weather, it went dormant in February. I was surprised by how much I learned. I am very happy with the outcome.

My Daughter was shocked by this
5/5

My daughter received this as a surprise. She enjoyed it very much and commented that it was very healthy and beautiful. As it is still too early to tell what part of it has survived, she selected the best place for it and planted it there. It is hard to determine how much money you will get for the money you spend. The answer is yes if it does what is advertised. If they all arrived the way my daughter's did, then it would be a good gift idea.

Health was good when he arrived
4/5

The plants arrived in good health and with full branches when I purchased four. It only took a couple weeks for the 3 gallon containers to start blooming. I have only planted them about a month ago but they seem to be doing well and are still blooming. It gives me great pleasure.

Amazon has a shrub for sale
5/5

Amazon is the place to buy shrubs, but who buys them? Yes, I did, last summer and in the spring of this year. When my order arrived on my doorstep, I was convinced. I had read good reviews online, but couldn't decide until I received my own. Is exactly how I described it- I found it to be in pristine condition and had a lot of The first time I saw this, I was blown away. It was planted once the weather had the chance to go past frost, and it has thrived. There is new growth on the plant now after it bloomed. I was very pleased with how well it was packaged and how well it was hydrated. In the same way, the shrub I bought last summer also lives up to its name. A product of superior quality, you'll enjoy it.

Is the packaging great, the leaves are green and the buds are half dead? Despite numerous gray leaves in the box, the treatment and packaging were perfect
3/5

The size and shape of the bush were as described, and the leaves and branches looked healthy. Probably 10 percent of the unopened buds on the tree were black, but it seems like a small percentage. A minimum of 75 degrees Fahrenheit) and an adequate amount of water is required. My observation was that more and more of the buds were turning hard and black in a matter of days. About 50% of the buds are now hard and black after a week of having the bush. My guess is that it is a bacterial blight, but the leaves and branches look fine, so I'm unsure of what is causing the problem. If I continue on in this manner, I probably won't get any blooms.
