This gorgeous Syringa Bloomerang ‘Dark Purple’ is just the thing for if you’re looking to add some drama to a small garden or adding gorgeous colour to your patio or decking area.
Ideal for adding colour, fragrance and a beautiful twist on other Lilac varieties that can often take over your garden, this ‘double flowering’, compact lilac will bloom first in May, flush through summer, then reach a second crescendo of colour in September.
This shrub is perfect for adding to your beds and borders as it won’t grow too tall, meaning you can really enjoy the beautiful flowers and fragrance with very little maintenance required. Deadheading the faded flowers will keep it in bloom for as long as possible, and there’ll be little to no pruning needed thanks to its compact nature.
It’s slow growing, easy to care for, perfect for pots and very hardy too – why not try growing as a fragrant flowering hedge for something a little bit different.
Supplied as an established plant in a 13cm pot, ready to plant. Growing to a height of 150cm.
Care Information
- Grow Lilac plants in fertile, well drained soil in full sun.
- They can be grown in containers if you wish using a soil based compost such as John Innes No.3.
