Why the vile rant on a plant you've obviously never grown?

1. Bloomerang was not on the market when you posted your comments.

2. I've been growing Bloomerang in Michigan (Midwest) and it grows great. Very healthy and very prolific.

3. I have never seen powdery mildew on this plant or on this species of Lilac Syringa pubens.You are confusing it with a French Lilac (Syringa vulgaris).

4. It does in fact rebloom very reliably without cutting it back our shearing it back.

5. Dwarf Korean lilac throws just an occasional flower in late season.

6. Dwarf Korean Lilac is the species with pale flowers that border on white.

Not cheap - but then again they did a special exclusive release in 2009 before anyone else had it. Bloomerang will not be at retail garden centers until spring of 2010.
