#ProPlantTips for Care:
Lilacs are low-maintenance, easy to grow, and very hardy plants. Strong and long-lived, this popular shrub is easily grown in normal garden soil and full sun. Lilacs bloom best in at least 6 hours of sun a day. Lilacs are easily grown in average, medium moist, well-drained soil. Provide moderate moisture consistently all growing season but these shrubs can be adaptable to low moisture conditions once fully established. Mulch helps your plants stay cool and moist. Apply to a depth of three inches, then pull it away six inches from the stems.
Air circulation is important for Lilacs, so find a breezy place for them to perform at their best. Disease and deer-resistant, but 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. Fertilize in early spring and again in mid-summer with Dr. Earth Organic and All Purpose Fertilizer, following directions on the package.
Don't miss a single bloom! Follow these easy Pruning steps for the best flowering:
Right after the flowers are done, it's time to prune. Don't delay, as Lilacs will produce next year's flowers on the new growth from this year. Snip the past flowers, then remove inward-heading branches and the thickest stems out at ground level. The goal is to let the interior of the shrub have plenty of sunlight and air circulation.
Once your Lilac plants have been growing for about 10 years, you'll want to start a regular schedule of renewal pruning, and removal of suckers (when needed). After the blooms are fading, cut a few of the oldest, thickest branches right down to the ground each year. The younger, thinner branches remain and keep your plant vigorous and healthy.
Renewal pruning is great for your Lilac shrub. Removing the oldest growth lets the new branches take their turn. The youngest branches will produce the best bloom for you the following spring. Prune to keep an open interior to reduce the chances of powdery mildew.
