Planting and care

Syringa vulgaris ‘Prince Wolkonsky’ is best planted from autumn to early spring, when there is no frost, in full sun. Partial shade that is not too dense is tolerated, but flowering will be less generous there. Plant it in a deep, fertile, well-drained soil, neutral to alkaline; it tolerates clay soils if water does not stand in winter. Water regularly during the first year or two, especially during dry spells. Once well established, it copes better with a lack of water, but a few waterings in spring encourage growth and flowering if the weather is dry. Remove suckers if you wish to limit the spread of your lilac.
