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!

Choose Bloomerang® Dark Purple Lilac if you want real lilac fragrance with a repeat bloom instead of a one-week spring show. The tradeoff: the later bloom is lighter, and it needs strong sun to be worth the space.
Buy This If
- You want lilac fragrance.
- You want repeat flowers.
- You have a sunny spot.
Skip This If
- You need winter screening.
- Your site is mostly shade.
- Drainage stays soggy.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The dark purple spring bloom carries the show, and the repeat bloom gives it more value than a once-blooming lilac. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in at a useful pace after establishment, but it is not the shrub to buy for instant bulk. |
| Maintenance | B | Prune right after the spring bloom and remove spent flowers if you want the strongest repeat show. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its compact habit works well near entries, patios, and mixed borders if you leave room for airflow. |
| Screening Value | C | It is deciduous and flower-focused, so use it for soft separation rather than dependable privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this for homeowners who want fragrance near daily-use areas, not tucked in a back corner where the repeat bloom and scent go unnoticed.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it really rebloom?
Yes, but expect the spring bloom to be the heaviest and the later bloom to be lighter.
When should I prune it?
Prune right after the spring bloom so you do not cut off the next flower cycle.
Will it attract pollinators?
Yes, the flowers draw bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds when in bloom.
Why Choose Shrubs for a Stronger Landscape?
- Structure & Definition: Shrubs frame homes, define walkways, and create organized planting beds.
- 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.
