Choose Bloomerang Ballet® Lilac if you want a compact fragrant lilac with repeat bloom; the tradeoff is that it will not give the big, old-fashioned lilac mass or screening size.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
The fragrance and repeat pink flowers earn attention, but the plant stays more refined than dramatic.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a steady pace without becoming a fast, bulky shrub.
Maintenance
B+
Basic shaping after bloom is usually enough, and disease resistance helps keep upkeep reasonable.
Deer Resistance
B
Lilacs are generally a better bet where browsing is a concern, though no shrub should be treated as untouchable.
Small Space Fit
A
This is one of the better lilac choices when you want fragrance without giving up a whole corner of the yard.
Screening Value
C
It can soften a planting bed, but it is not the plant to choose for privacy.
Compare It To
Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac
Choose Bloomerang Ballet® Lilac for softer pink flowers and a lighter look; choose Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac if you want a deeper flower color with the same reblooming idea.
Miss Kim Lilac
Choose Bloomerang Ballet® Lilac if rebloom matters most; choose Miss Kim Lilac if you prefer a more traditional single-season lilac with a neat habit.
Common Purple Lilac
Choose Bloomerang Ballet® Lilac for smaller spaces and repeat bloom; choose Common Purple Lilac if you have room and want the classic large lilac presence.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for homeowners who want lilac fragrance near daily-use areas, not for customers trying to block a view or recreate an old farmyard lilac row.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it really rebloom?
Yes, but the later bloom is usually lighter than the spring show.
Should I prune it?
Only light shaping after the main bloom; hard pruning can reduce flowers.
Can it go in a container?
Yes, if the container drains well and gets consistent care.
Privacy & Screening: Many varieties grow dense and full, making them ideal for natural hedges and property boundaries.
Seasonal Color & Texture: From evergreen foliage to flowering varieties, shrubs provide visual interest in every season.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.

Easy ordering, delivery and installation! Highly recommend ordering from Pro Growers of New England.
The two gentlemen that did the arborvitae installation were absolutely excellent. They listened to exactly what we wanted, mapped out the spots, and worked quickly and thoroughly to get it done. Outstanding work!
