Syringa ‘SMNSPH’
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.
Buy This If
You want fragrance close by.
You want repeat lilac bloom.
You need a compact shrub.
Skip This If
You need a tall screen.
Your site stays soggy.
You want a classic giant lilac.
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+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
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.
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.
Why buy for fall color

Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
Fall planting means roots established before winter
Grown and hardened off for New England conditions
We grow and acclimate our Proven Winners stock right here in New Hampshire, so it's ready for New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
