Pro Plant Tips for Care
Lilacs need full sun to produce those incredible, erect blooms. Ensure they receive at least six hours of direct sunlight a day.
Grow them in well-drained soils for best results. It’s a good idea to create a mulched flower bed for your new shrubs. They love a three-inch layer of mulch over their root systems.
Take care when applying lawn fertilizers nearby. These high nitrogen formulas are designed to produce lots of green leaves and growth, but not flowers.
You can apply a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer for blooming plants in early spring. Always follow directions on the label.
Give Lilacs a medium amount of water on a regular basis. They are durable, but will do best with an even schedule of water, especially in times of drought.
The perfect time to prune is right after the flowers finish blooming in spring or early summer. Plan to prune right after the flowers finish, so you won’t disturb next year’s flowers.
Remember that the blooms form in the new growth that happens after the flowers are done. Time your pruning job correctly. Get outside right after the flowers are finished. Snip the past blooms, and correct for shape at this time.
It’s a good idea to plan a schedule of renewal pruning. This easy practice keeps your plants young and flowering beautifully.
Once the shrubs are about five years old, cut a few of the oldest, thickest stems right down to the ground every other year in spring. Leave the younger thinner stems in place to produce flowers.
Lilacs are very hardy. They respond very well to both renewal pruning and light pruning to remove the spent blooms.
Don’t miss this very exciting variety. Violet Uprising Lilac is enchanting, no matter where you use it. Order yours today and hurry! We’ll sell out quickly.
