#ProPlantTips for Care:

Lilacs are very easy to grow! Choose a planting site for Lilacs in full sun with at least six hours of sunlight. They do best in well-drained soil that is organically enriched but not overly fertilized. For poor drainage sites, raise your Lilacs up over the water table by creating a planting mound to improve drainage. Add symbiotic Nature Hills Root Booster formula in the planting hole for a life-long benefit to the feeder roots and top the root system with a 3-4 inch layer of mulch or arborist bark chips.

Apply supplemental water when the top inch of your soil gets dry. Protect your investment during dry weather to keep your plants happy and stress-free! Try watering at the roots or using in-ground irrigation to keep the leaves clean and dry.

Once the blooms are done, you can snip them off the shrub and prune your shrub for shape and size control. Correct any crossing or damaged branches at that time, cutting at a 45-degree angle above an outward-facing leaf bud. But avoid pruning your shrub any time after that or you'll risk removing next year's breathtaking floral display!

• Full Sun Shrubs
• Almost Any Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Yet Regular Moisture
• Prune Only After Flowering
• Improved Resistance To Powdery Mildew
