6 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Doesn't require frequent watering. Wonderful spring color.

Fragrance, moderately compact size, long blooming-period.

Lilacs and iris are my favorite flowers

StarkBrothers is the only reliable nursery I have done business with other but they have never failed me in 40 years.

hello I purchased and planted 8 boomerang lilacs about 6 weeks ago....they look healthy and green...but don't seem to be growing any.....what should I do ???? thanks Mike

As long as you're giving them enough sun and water and appropriate fertilization, I wouldn't worry. By the end of summer you will notice a difference and next year the new shoots will really fill it out :)

Is this plant blooming?

It bloomed lightly almost as soon as I planted it last summer, so I didn't have much hope for this Spring. However, in spite of a cool, late Spring, it is blooming its little heart out. I have it in an 18" diameter container on a sunny, windy penthouse terrace, so it will probably never be as big or bushy as the photo. But as for flower production, it's a trooper.

How well does the reblooming lilac do in direct sun?

I do not have too much sun in my yard just enough for a couple of hours. It did not grow since last year but it does have some flowers on it.

Can I plant the boomerang lilac in the same 2'x2' planter as the josee lilac?

I don't see why not but use a big enough pot to let it expand n grow me personally planted mine in my garden n thought this twig isn't going to grow this year I have a nice size bush developing I'm glad I allowed space for it to develop I also bought a cherry tree which the first dud nothing but they replaced it this year at growing season n it's developed alot of leaves on it starks prods are great

Repeat winner
These plants were very small when they arrived, but they grew quickly and bloomed the first season. We had more growth and blooms again this spring and I look forward to the repeat bloom this summer.

All seems to be good.
It was very small when we received it so we put it in a large container and kept it in the basement under a grow lite through the winter. It did actually put on a few small blooms this spring and is beginning to get bigger. Soon we will plant it in the ground. All seems to be well with it now and we think it will do fine. Check back later if you wish. Thank you very much. John

Bloomerang Purple Lilac
I purchase these in 2015. They are in a area exposed to the wind, but survived the Ohio winter well. They are very small, so no blooms yet.

Bloomerang Purple Lilac
So far I am very happy with the Reblooming Lilac. It wintered well and is still growing. As it is early in the season I have not seen it rebloom but I am confidante it will. I would definitely recommend this product

Bloomerang Purple Lilac
The lilac was shipped quickly by Starks and arrived very healthy looking. I've had it for two years and the first winter was brutally cold with lot of snow and the second winter extremely mild and survived both well. The lilac is now about three feet tall and loaded with blossoms. Overall I am very pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend.
