'Bloomerang Dark Purple' lilac (Syringa 'Bloomerang Dark Purple') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in spring, then rebloms in summer and autumn with fragrant dark purple flowers. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms.
