Description of the plant:
Pink Perfume is a Dutch addition to the Bloomerang® series of re-blooming lilacs marketed by Proven Winners® in USA. The plant was bred by Andre Franciscus van Nijnatten from Zundert, the Netherlands, in 2003, and patented as PP24252 in 2012. It is a cross between dwarf s.meyeri and small-leaved s.microphylla.Bloomerang® Pink Perfume lilac does what is promises - enchants you with its lovely sweet perfume which is so different from the common lilac fragrance. It blooms later, opening its clusters of tiny, tubular pink flowers from about mid May for 4-6 weeks, while making new shoots that will produce more flowers in summer. Leaves are rather small (3-5 cm long), ovate, deciduous, and fresh green.
It forms a bushy shrub about 1.5m tall and a little more wide. It can be placed among smaller plants as a small flowering specimen, or used in green hedges among shrubs of different leaf shapes and colours. If you purchase a good looking plant you probably won't need to prune it ever, otherwise you can prune it just after flowering (in June) in order to encourage formation of a good framework. If you need to rejuvenate it, do so before flowering and fertilize it after.
Lilacs can be grown in many soil types. For best result use reasonably fertile, moist but well-drained soil, preferably neutral or alkaline. Full sun is essential for profuse flowering but part shade will be tolerated with slightly fewer flowers. Fully hardy to min. -37°C (USDA zone 3), and suitable for outdoor pots.
