My favorite part of spring is the scent of fresh rain combined with lilac blooms. Unfortunately, that sweet aroma does not linger for very long. Lilacs are another one of those short-lived spring beauties that seems to fade as equally fast as it blooms ... Until now.Proven Winners, known for their high-performing flowering plants, has introduced Bloomerang, a new variety of lilac that flowers in the spring, takes a quick break in the summer heat, then blooms repeatedly up until the fall frost. Lilac enthusiasts, such as myself, will appreciate the continuous fragrance, a more compact shape that lends itself well to perennial beds and borders, and an abundance of blooms that are perfect for cutting. Bloomerang is also resistant to powdery mildew, root rot and deer.
Visit Proven Winners to learn more about Bloomerang. They are just starting to arrive at greenhouses and garden retailers. However, I have a feeling these will sell out quickly.

This is exciting. Lilacs are my absolute favorite. I stick my nose in them as much as I can in the spring despite my allergies. Now, they just need to make a variety that doesn't make me sneeze.
