Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Bloomerang Lilac Bush

Planting Instructions for Bloomerang Lilac Bush:

  1. Location & Soil Preparation: Bloomerang lilacs thrive in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). Choose a spot with full sun, which means at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. More sun encourages better blooms and helps prevent disease. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or organic matter to improve drainage.
  2. Planting Depth & Spacing: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the lilac bush in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Space multiple plants about 4-6 feet apart, allowing enough room for airflow and future growth.
  3. Initial Watering: After planting, water thoroughly to help settle the soil around the roots. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few inches away from the stem to avoid rot.

Care Instructions:

  1. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help the roots establish. Bloomerang lilacs prefer moist but well-drained soil. Once established, they are moderately drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent watering, especially during dry periods. Water deeply but avoid waterlogging the soil.
  2. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (like 10-10-10) in early spring to encourage healthy growth and blooms. Alternatively, you can add compost around the base of the plant in spring. Avoid fertilizing too late in the season, as this can stimulate tender growth that may not survive winter.
  3. Monitoring: Lilacs are generally disease-resistant but can be prone to powdery mildew in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation by planting with adequate spacing and avoid overhead watering to reduce the risk of fungal issues.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care:

  1. Pruning: Prune your Bloomerang lilac immediately after its spring bloom to promote additional blooms later in the season (Bloomerang lilacs are reblooming, flowering in both spring and late summer to fall). Remove spent flowers to encourage reblooming and trim any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can also help maintain the desired size and shape.
  2. Reblooming: Bloomerang lilacs are known for their ability to bloom not just in spring, but again in late summer to fall. After the first bloom, deadhead spent flowers to encourage the next flush of blooms. With proper care and fertilization, the plant should produce blooms throughout the growing season.
  3. Pest and Disease Control: Lilacs are relatively pest-free but may occasionally suffer from issues such as aphids, leaf miners, or scale. If pests appear, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Powdery mildew can be an issue in areas with poor air circulation, so prune the bush regularly to maintain airflow.
  4. Winter Care: Bloomerang lilacs are hardy in USDA zones 3-7 and typically don’t require special winter protection in these areas. In colder regions, adding a 3-4 inch layer of mulch around the base in late fall will help insulate the roots from freezing temperatures.

Growing Bloomerang Lilacs in Containers:

If you'd like to grow your Bloomerang lilac in a container, follow these guidelines:

  1. Choosing a Container: Use a large container (at least 18-24 inches wide) with drainage holes to prevent waterlogged soil. Make sure the pot is deep enough to accommodate the roots and provides room for future growth.
  2. Potting Mix: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend designed for trees and shrubs, or a mix of standard potting soil with added perlite or sand for drainage.
  3. Watering and Fertilization: Lilacs in containers may dry out faster than those planted in the ground, so monitor soil moisture regularly. Water when the top 2 inches of soil feel dry. Fertilize with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer to support reblooming.
  4. Winter Care for Containers: In colder climates, move the container to a sheltered area, such as a garage, or wrap the pot with insulating material to protect the roots from freezing temperatures. You can also bury the pot in the ground for winter to provide extra protection.

With proper care, your Bloomerang lilac bush will provide beautiful, fragrant blooms throughout the growing season.

The star-shaped flowers form intricate clusters, with tiny buds and open blooms creating a textured, layered look. The soft, pastel colors and fine details of the petals give a fresh and elegant appearance, adding beauty and fragrance to the garden.

Beware- not all Bloomerang Lilacs are the same.

Be sure to get superior lilacs, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" lilacs to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Bloomerang Lilacs in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth and blooms!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall lilacs in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" shrub, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy shrub.

Bloomerang is a true reblooming lilac- classic lilac fragrance in spring and again from summer into fall.

  • Blooms twice: a big spring flush, then more flowers from mid to late summer into fall
  • Classic sweet lilac fragrance that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds
  • Compact size (4-6 ft. tall and wide) for borders, low hedges and large containers
  • Very cold hardy in zones 3-7

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

A full, branched Nationwide Plants tree in a nursery pot next to a thin bare-root tree with exposed roots Ours: container grown Theirs: bare root
Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out

Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure plants including the pot and roots, so the plant you receive is much smaller than you expected. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Bloomerang Lilacs Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship small, weak lilacs grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" plants struggle after planting and take longer to bloom well.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Bloomerang Lilacs, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start giving you fragrant blooms, spring and summer, sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Bloomerang Lilac Bush

Does Bloomerang Lilac really bloom more than once?

Yes, Bloomerang Lilac is a true reblooming lilac. It puts on a large flush of fragrant lavender-purple flowers in spring, rests briefly, and then blooms again from mid to late summer into fall. Deadheading the first round of spent flowers helps encourage a stronger second flush.

How big does a Bloomerang Lilac get?

A Bloomerang Lilac grows about 4 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide, forming a compact, rounded shrub. That is much smaller than traditional lilacs, making it a good fit for small gardens, foundation plantings, low hedges, borders, and even large containers.

What zones does Bloomerang Lilac grow in?

Bloomerang Lilac grows in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 7. It is very cold hardy and usually needs no special winter protection within that range, making it an excellent lilac for northern gardens. In the coldest areas, add 3 to 4 inches of mulch around the base in late fall.

When should I prune a Bloomerang Lilac?

Prune a Bloomerang Lilac right after its spring bloom finishes. Remove spent flower clusters and any dead or damaged branches, and lightly shape the shrub if needed. Pruning at this time encourages the summer-to-fall rebloom. Avoid heavy pruning late in the season.

How much sun does a Bloomerang Lilac need?

A Bloomerang Lilac needs full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, for the best blooming. It can tolerate partial sun, but more sun means more flowers and less risk of powdery mildew. Choose a spot with good air circulation for the healthiest plant.

How far apart should I plant Bloomerang Lilacs?

Space Bloomerang Lilacs about 4 to 6 feet apart. That gives each shrub room to reach its mature width and allows air to move between plants, which helps prevent powdery mildew. For a low flowering hedge, use the closer end of that range.

Does Bloomerang Lilac smell like a regular lilac?

Yes, Bloomerang Lilac has the classic sweet lilac fragrance, and because it reblooms, you can enjoy that scent in spring and again from summer into fall. Plant it near patios, walkways, or windows to enjoy the fragrance. The flowers also attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Can Bloomerang Lilac be grown in a container?

Yes, Bloomerang Lilac can be grown in a container thanks to its compact size. Use a pot at least 18 to 24 inches wide with drainage holes and a well-draining mix. Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, and in cold climates move the pot to a sheltered spot for winter.

What soil does Bloomerang Lilac need?

Bloomerang Lilac grows best in well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. Amend heavy clay with compost to improve drainage, and plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Mulch 2 to 3 inches deep to retain moisture.

How should I fertilize a Bloomerang Lilac?

Fertilize a Bloomerang Lilac in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer such as 10-10-10, or spread compost around the base. Avoid feeding late in the season, which can push tender growth that may not survive winter. Container plants benefit from a second feeding in midsummer.
