Planting Instructions:
-
-
- Location:Plant Lilacs in a location with full sun to partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil with good organic content.
- Planting:Dig a hole that’s as deep but twice as wide as the root ball. Place the Lilac in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil.
- Spacing:Space Lilac shrubs according to their mature size, typically about 5 to 15 feet apart, depending on the variety.
- Care:Water newly planted Lilacs regularly until established. Once established, they prefer consistent moisture but can tolerate short periods of drought. Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune after flowering to shape the shrub and remove dead or overgrown branches.
