Cultivar name is Syringa x 'Penda'.
Mobot says hardy to zone 4
BLOOMERANG is a reblooming dwarf lilac that matures to only 3-4' tall. It is reportedly a cross of Syringa JOSEE, whose cultivar name is 'Morjos 06of '
I have grown Josee for many years. It blooms several times spring to fall. It too is a hybrid, developed in France. One parent, I believe is Syringa meyeri. I've seen it listed as a S. triloba cultivar, though not sure that's an accurate species. Josee has grown well here and is fairly easy to propagate from cuttings. She is quite fragrant.

Subject: [CHAT] back to gardening??
In todays mail, I got a invitation to a gardening event. One of the plants they are pushing... er talking about..... is a reblooming purple lilac called 
Bloomerang (tm).

Anyone heard of it?  Anyone have it?
Sounds interesting, but somehow hard to believe in zone 5. Unfortunately, I 
would love to go to the luncheon, but my schedule isn't going to allow it.
