Watering

Moderate steady watering, fast draining loam prevents root waterlogging

Fertilizing

Lilac shrub slow-release feed single application per early spring year

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering. Hard renovation pruning is tolerated when needed.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings or layering in early summer. Grafting can be done in winter and chip budding in summer

Growing

Easy to grow in most well-drained, fertile, humus-rich, alkaline to neutral soils. Thrives in chalky ground and appreciates mulching when planted in full sun
