Care
Reblooming Lilac Care
Provide full sun. Too little light will cause growth issues.
Fertilization is suggested, especially if soil is poor. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.
First and most abundant bloom is on old wood – spring or dormant pruning will remove all these flower buds. Allow 8-10 weeks after a trim for new wood flowers to develop.
It's suggested to trim this lilac after its spring bloom. After a brief rest period, the plant will rebloom on new growth.
Water well, especially after planting prior to establishment. Attempt to keep soil moist, but not wet. It's suggested to place 2"-3" of mulch under this plant to help retain ground moisture.
Space 6' apart at a minimum.
