Product Description

Bloomerang® Purpink Lilac (Syringa x 'SMNSPTP') is a lovely garden companion selected for its ability to enhance the romance, texture, and seasonal beauty of a rose garden. With its upright mounding habit, rich deep green foliage, and fragrant panicles of light purple-pink starry flowers that bloom in late spring and again from late summer into fall, this compact reblooming shrub brings softness and charm while helping create a fuller, more layered planting design.

Whether tucked along the edge of a rose bed, woven between shrub roses, or used to soften pathways and borders, Bloomerang® Purpink Lilac adds dimension, movement, and garden magic — and its exceptional disease resistance makes it one of the most reliable companions in the garden. A Proven Winners® selection, it is bred for performance as much as beauty.

Maintenance Needs

• Watering: Moderate water needs; keep soil consistently moist but well-drained, especially during establishment.
• Soil: Prefers rich, moist, well-drained neutral soils. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
• Pruning: Prune as needed immediately after spring flowering. Prompt deadheading before seed set will increase the following year's bloom.
• Fertilizing: Feed lightly in early spring with a balanced fertilizer to support the long bloom season.
• Winter Care: Hardy to Zone 3; no special winter protection needed in most climates. Late spring frosts may damage emerging flower buds — site accordingly.
• Pest & Disease: Highly disease resistant. No serious pests or diseases. Leaf-roll necrosis may occasionally occur.

Landscape Uses

Bloomerang® Purpink Lilac is a versatile, upright-mounding shrub that fits beautifully into a wide range of garden styles and settings.

How to Use Bloomerang® Purpink Lilac with Roses

Bloomerang® Purpink Lilac pairs beautifully with roses by adding contrast, softness, and seasonal interest around the base of rose bushes, climbers, and garden borders. Its light purple-pink fragrant blooms echo the romantic palette of many garden roses, while its upright mounding habit creates a graceful vertical accent that allows roses to remain the stars of the planting. Best of all, its reblooming nature means it keeps the garden colorful long after the first rose flush has faded.

• Use behind or beside roses to add fragrant vertical interest with its upright habit.
• Plant between roses for a fuller, layered cottage-garden look with extended bloom time.
• Choose the pink-purple blooms to complement blush, lavender, or deep red rose varieties.
• Pair with Giant Hyssop or Joe-Pye Weed for a pollinator-rich companion planting scheme.
• Keep pruned after spring bloom so it does not compete with roses for light and airflow.
