Many love lilacs at DMLM, so thought I'd post a thread for this. 

I have two bushes already, but to have one that spreads its scent

all summer long???  BEG1.gif beg1 picture by airplane76 

Looky what I found?  A reblooming lilac bush...

            The only reblooming lilac!

We are pleased to present the new fragrant,

REBLOOMING dwarf lilac Bloomerang™. This

powerful lilac bush covers itself with heavy 

flowering clusters of purple-pink, sweetly scented blooms in

May, and then continues flowering off and on throughout the

summer and into autumn! Reaching just 4-5 feet tall, it fits perfectly in foundation

plantings or small gardens. Plant several together and create a fragrant hedge.

Ideal for cutting because the blooms are abundant; plenty for inside and outside.

The Bloomerang Lilacs are easy to grow in full sun and average, well-drained soil.

These long-lived shrubs will bring years of enjoyment and are hardy in zones 4-7.

Plants are shipped in 5" pots from mid-April through June.

I need to get me one of them!!   When the guys came and redid our main drain the bastards ripped out my lilac bush because they needed to dig in that part of the yard. GRRRRRRR!!!!!  DH came if after discovering they had did that and he said I have some bad news.....

I had gotten that from dd (who was about 3 at the time) for our 1st mother's day at the house we had just bought

We can order at the site above for a fall shipment, or wait until next March to order for spring.  I'm going to call Bordine Nursery to see if they know who else might carry it.  I'll be back later...

I talked to my mom today she said that she orders plants from a catalog that has those in stock still!!!

SHe is supposed to email me the info when she finds her copy of the catalog so that I can post it  here!!!!  I want one so bad, screw the landlord, I have a spot to plant it by my patio here, and it'll make it pretty...who cares if it's an apartment!!!!

CinderMomma...you make me laugh! gogirl.gif picture by airplane76

Didn't have a chance to call Bordine, but promise I will tomorrow.  I would think if any nursery carried it, it would be Bordine...although I couldn't find it on their website.  Maybe I'll try Denewith's, as well.

I didn't think of Denewiths, they are like 15 mins from my house...might try there.

I miss the smell of lilacs early in the morning during the summer....instead I smell pine trees (which i'm sort of allergic to so i dont enjoy that) and the stale smell of our ac...ugh.

 

Glad I could make you laugh pnut!

Okay I was at my mom's getting ready for the garage sale and she showed me her catalog where they have those lilacs.

It's called Spring Hill Nursery.

you can check out their website and they do have these lilacs!!!

Here is the link!!

 

springhillnursery.com/josee-Lilac/p/68896/

They are called JOsee Lilacs, they are featured on the main page of the website!!!

 

If you want the reblooming lilacs this is your best bet!!!
