Syringa Bloomerang - does it repeat flower (and who on earth thought the name was a good idea)?

I love lilacs and like the idea of a repeat flowering one. Looking at the Syringa Bloomerang (so glad I don't actually have to say that name out loud) range. Does anyone have it and if so does it do what it says it does?

    Any feedback on this lilac? Can't find any information on search, thinking about getting it.

    I didn't get it in the end.

    I found some reviews that said reflowering was sporadic but I can't find them now. In the end I decided that my Daphne Transatlantica was effectively doing the same thing - a big, fragrant flush of small flowers in early spring and then on and off all summer.

    I'd be interested to know though, same as you @newbie77.

    Yes would like to know personal experience.

    Am just coming on to update this thread. I've just seen these in pots (maybe 3 litres?) in our local nursery. Two of the three pots had blooms - only a few, bit sparse, but they were there and what little there was scented. So my guess would be on and off / sporadic re-flowering through the summer as opposed to a fully summer flowering plant.
