This deciduous darling is a re-blooming marvel, ensuring your garden is never without the sweet scent and vibrant purple hues that only a lilac can provide.

Why You'll Love Bloomerang:

Planting Directions

<h2>Planting Bloomerang Lilac Bush</h2>

<p>To plant a Bloomerang Lilac Bush, follow these steps:</p>

<ul>
<li>Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.</li>
<li>Space plants 4-6 feet apart to ensure good air circulation.</li>
<li>Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball.</li>
<li>Remove the plant from its container and loosen the roots gently.</li>
<li>Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it's at the same depth it was in the container.</li>
<li>Backfill the hole with soil, pressing down to eliminate air pockets.</li>
<li>Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.</li>
<li>Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Care and Maintenance</h2>

<p>For ongoing care of your Bloomerang Lilac Bush:</p>

<ul>
<li>Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist but not soggy.</li>
<li>Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.</li>
