FAQ about Lilac – Pink

What kind of soil suits lilac best?
Lilac thrives in well-drained, limy soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5. The soil should be fertile, ideally enriched with compost. Avoid acid soil and poorly drained spots where water stands.
How often should lilac be watered?
In the first year after planting, lilac needs regular watering to establish. After that it is fairly drought-tolerant, but should be watered deeply in long dry spells, especially while it is flowering and growing.
When and how should lilac be pruned?
Prune straight after flowering, as next year's flower buds form during the summer. Remove the faded flower clusters and thin out old, weak branches to improve air circulation. Old, overgrown shrubs can be rejuvenated by taking out a third of the oldest stems each year.
Which pests and diseases can affect lilac?
Lilac can be attacked by aphids, scale insects and the lilac leaf miner. Powdery mildew can occur with poor air circulation. A sunny, airy position prevents most problems.
How long do cut lilacs last in a vase?
Cut lilacs last about three to five days. Cut them in the cool of the morning when about half the flowers in the cluster have opened, strip most of the leaves, split or cut the woody stems at a sharp angle and put them straight into lukewarm water.
