Most lilacs flower around Mothers day. The ideal time to surprise her with a fragrant bouquet! When you cut a flowering stem from the shrub, the buds underneath the cutting point will form shoots.
By planting various coloured lilacs next to each other you can enjoy the wonderful fragrances for 4 to 6 weeks. If it’s a cool spring then it will only be beneficial to the length of the flowering period and the colours of the flowers.
The best time to fertilise is early in the spring, the plant will then have the fertiliser when it requires it most. If planted in a pot on a patio, you will need to add fertiliser annually due to the limited buffer accommodated by a pot. If planted in the garden, you will usually not be required to add fertiliser.
As we enjoy the first sunny days of spring you will also see butterflies appearing once again. Life is returning to the garden.
In theory lilacs don’t need pruning. But by pruning you will get a fuller shrub with plenty of young and healthy branches.
The lilac has been placed in a spot where theres not enough sunlight. For optimal flowering, lilacs require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.
Your lilac should preferably be placed in a sunny spot in the garden or in a large pot on the patio. Lilacs need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day to flower optimally. Further, ensure there is plenty of space around the plant.
