Collection of 3 Fragrant Lilacs

Lilacs appreciate planting in full sun, in soil that remains fairly moist but well-drained. They can tolerate any type of soil, but prefer slightly limestone soils and are sensitive to strongly acidic soils. They grow well in semi-shaded exposure, but flowering will be reduced. Easy to grow, they require only summer mulching in dry climates to maintain some moisture. Water them in the first few years in case of marked drought. You can prune the flowering branches to make beautiful bouquets, or at the end of flowering to promote the appearance of new flowers and avoid exhausting the bush. Avoid severe pruning that limits spring flowering, unless your Syringa becomes too large.
