#ProPlantTips for Care:
Lilacs are easily grown in average, medium moist, well-drained soil in full sun. Air circulation is always a good idea for Lilacs and Madame Lemoine Lilac tolerates light shade, but the best bloom is in full sun. It prefers organically rich soils with good drainage. They won't tolerate "wet feet", so elevate the roots with a raised bed or planting mound, if you need to improve drainage.
Give young Lilacs a medium amount of water on a regular basis, especially during bloom time. Once it is established, apply supplemental water in an extended drought. To help with moisture, cover the root system with around 3-4 inches of Arborist bark chips.
Prune the panicles as the flowers start to fade, and enjoy them in cut flower arrangements. Prune directly following the bloom to open up the center of the shrub to air circulation and sunlight. Rejuvenate your shrub periodically by removing the thickest, oldest stems at ground level.
Deer tend to ignore Lilacs, however, if deer populations are high and the food is limited deer may sample any plant. 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.
