#ProPlantTips for Care:

This wildly floriferous Lilac variety needs a sunny, well-drained spot in your yard to knock your socks off! Sunlight is crucial for the best bloom, so plant in at least 6 hours of direct sun for the best performance. Give young plants a moderate amount of water, carefully checking on the condition of the soil to get them established in that first growing season. Mulch your shrubs with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips. Add additional soil in a mound 18 to 24 high if you suspect poor drainage. You can plant directly in that mound.

Follow these easy Pruning steps for the best flowering. Likely, you won't need to prune this naturally rounded shrub much at all. If required, first let the plant bloom in May. Then, just as soon as the flowers are done, prune the tips as needed. Only prune Lilacs right after the flowers are done blooming. Pruning later in the summer, fall, winter or early spring before they bloom in spring will only remove the flowers that would have bloomed in spring.

Once the plants get a bit older, do a renewal pruning. Each year after bloom, remove the oldest stems to the base of the grafted standard. You'll leave nice young shoots in place. This practice, when done every few years, will keep your plant healthy and stress-free and bloom like a fool. Keep any branching or shoots from growing along the trunk or from the ground by pruning back completely flush.

If you live with deer in your area, apply repellent spray on planting day. Deer are hungry and curious, and you want to train them to leave your plants alone. Reapply according to the label.
