Bloomerang Pink Perfume Lilac
Syringa 'Pink Perfume'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Oleaceae
Plant Description: This is a reblooming lilac with fragrant pink flowers that bloom in mid spring and again in late summer. The lilacs in the Bloomerang series are extremely disease resistant and enjoy full sun, making them an easy-care choice. Pruning should only be done after the spring flush of blooms, if desired. Second bloom occurs on new growth after the spring flush.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Shrub - Thinning
Plant Care: Shrub - Thinning (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on older stems): Prune dead, diseased, or rubbing branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. Remove up to 1/3rd of the overall shrub, keeping older branches to build up a sturdy, permanent and picturesque framework. Keep in mind that these shrubs bloom directly on older wood or on shoots that come off old wood. Monitor for pests, diseases, or other ailments on a regular basis.
Special Considerations: Lilacs should be pruned after the flowers fade by using a combination of thinning and renewal techniques. Remove some of the oldest stems nearly or right to the ground. (Older, neglected shrubs may need many large branches removed; avoid removing more than 1/3 of the shrub at a time by spacing this renovation out over multiple years). Excessively long stems can be shortened to a strong branch. Lastly, thin out some of the younger stems to prevent crowding. Remove spent blooms before seed set to promote more blooms later.
