Lilac

Syringa

Care guide

Transplanting & Establishment

Early-to-mid March. Preserve as much root mass as possible during the dig. Avoid overly rich amendments at planting โ€” lilacs prefer lean to moderately fertile soil and too much richness can push foliage at the expense of blooms.

Seasonal Care

Early-mid March: Transplant if needed. Avoid "too rich" soil amendments.
