Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Increase watering before spring bloom. Prune after flowering. Pruning time: spring after flowering.
Design Ideas
Here is an excellent lilac for gardens that never get really cold winters. Plant as a tall, informal hedge or as a tall shrub in the back of the border. Prune out entire branches if necessary; don't overprune as this will reduce the number next year's blooms.
