Care
Bloomerang® Dwarf Pink Lilac Care
Plant in Full Sun for best flowering and the strongest, most compact growth.
Provide well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Avoid consistently wet, heavy soils, especially through winter.
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, water during extended dry periods.
Feed in early spring with a balanced slow release fertilizer to support healthy growth and repeat blooming.
Prune just after the main spring bloom to shape the shrub and encourage fresh growth. Avoid late fall or early spring pruning, which can reduce flowering.
Mulch lightly around the root zone to help retain moisture and reduce weed pressure, keeping mulch off the stems.
Container Growing: Choose a container with drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix. Container plants need more frequent watering than in-ground shrubs. Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
