Bloomerang Pink Perfume Lilac
Bloomerang Pink Perfume Lilac (Syringa x 'Pink Perfume')
Bloomerang Pink Perfume Lilac, Syringa x 'Pink Perfume', is a compact reblooming lilac that delivers soft pink flower clusters and classic lilac fragrance on a shrub small enough for front borders, walkways, and patios. Rosy buds open to clouds of blush pink blooms in late spring, then with light pruning and good care the plant repeats its performance later in the season, offering color and scent well beyond the usual lilac window. Clean green foliage fills out a rounded, well branched framework so the shrub provides structure even between flowering cycles, making it an easy focal point in sunny foundation plantings and mixed borders.
Distinctive Features
Bloomerang Pink Perfume Lilac typically grows about 3 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, forming a dense, rounded mound on multiple stems. In spring, branch tips are topped with conical trusses of small, soft pink flowers that read as pastel clouds against the fresh green foliage. Given full sun and a light trim after the first flush, new shoots often carry additional blooms in midsummer and sometimes again in early fall when conditions are favorable. Heart shaped leaves stay clean and attractive through the growing season, so the shrub looks good even when not in flower and blends easily with perennials, roses, and compact evergreens.
Growing Conditions
- Light: Thrives in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct light each day for strong bud set, sturdy stems, and the best reblooming performance.
- Soil: Prefers well drained, moderately fertile soil and adapts to most average garden soils that do not stay wet or waterlogged.
- Water: Water regularly during the first few seasons to establish deep roots; once established, provide occasional deep soakings during extended dry periods.
- Hardiness: Well suited to regions with cold winters where lilacs traditionally perform, provided soil drainage is good.
- Size: Forms a compact shrub about 3 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide at maturity, depending on climate and pruning.
- Growth Rate: Moderate grower that builds its framework over several years and then settles into a steady cycle of spring bloom followed by repeat flowering.
Ideal Uses
- Small Space Feature: Ideal for modest yards, narrow borders, and courtyard beds where a full size lilac would overpower the space.
- Foundation Plantings: Tuck under windows, near porches, or along entry paths so you can enjoy the blooms and fragrance at close range.
- Walkways and Patios: Plant beside paths, seating areas, or outdoor rooms so the sweet scent can be appreciated every time you pass by.
- Mixed Shrub and Perennial Borders: Combine with roses, spireas, daylilies, and ornamental grasses to add spring and summer height, perfume, and color in a compact footprint.
- Cut Flower Gardens: Grow near cutting beds to harvest delicate pink flower trusses for simple, fragrant indoor arrangements.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: After establishment, water during hot, dry weather with deep, occasional soakings instead of frequent light sprinklings.
- Pruning: Prune right after the main spring bloom by removing spent flower heads and lightly shaping the plant; a light trim can help encourage the next flush of flowers on new growth.
- Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a light dose of balanced, slow release fertilizer or a layer of compost if soil is lean, avoiding heavy nitrogen that favors foliage over flowers.
- Mulching: Maintain a 2 to 3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, keeping mulch a few inches away from the main stems.
- Seasonal Care: Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late winter or just after bloom, and monitor for suckers, keeping or removing them depending on how wide you want the shrub to spread.
