Lilac
By LoveToKnow
Lilac (Syringa) - Where these lovely shrubs are well grown they afford beautiful effects in the home landscape as well as fragrance.
Lilacs
Lilacs can grow everywhere. Every soil. All exposures. Consider the lilacs of the field, how they grow. They are not fertilized, nor are they pruned, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
LILAC--PRUNING
Lilac should be pruned after blooming each spring. Remove one-fourth (1/4) of the plant starting the fifth year after planting to encourage new basal shoots. Remove old wood at ground level.
