Syringa Bloomerang Pink Perfume (‘Pink Perfume’) | 12L Pot

Flowers from spring to autumn. Position: full sun Soil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: April to May, then intermittently until October Hardiness: fully hardy One of the new breed of lilacs, which has a main flush of flowers in spring, but then carries on flowering intermittently right through until mid-autumn. The flowers are a rich pinkish-purple and they open from darker coloured buds, so the overall effect is very colourful. The scent is good too. Garden care: In mid-summer remove the faded flower heads carefully using secateurs to avoid damaging the young shoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in early spring.
