How to Plant, Grow, and Care for Lilac Shrubs Planting - Grow lilacs in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil (at a pH near 7.0). - Select a site where your lilac will get full sun - at least 6 hours. If lilacs don't get enough sun, they will not bloom well. - Make sure the site drains well. Lilacs don't like wet feet and will not bloom with too much water. - Plant in either spring or fall, although the latter is preferred. - Your sucker will look pathetic at first but just dig a hole, backfill it with soil, and stick the sucker in. Then water and wait. In 4 or 5 years, you'll be rewarded with huge, fragrant blossoms. - Transplanting lilacs from a nursery is also easy. If it's container-grown, spread out the roots as you settle the plant into the ground; if it's balled or burlapped, gently remove the covering and any rope before planting. Set the plant 2 or 3 inches deeper than it grew in the nursery, and work topsoil in around the roots. Water in. Then fill in the hole with more topsoil. - Space multiple lilac bushes 5 to 15 feet apart, depending on the variety.   Care - Water during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. - Lilacs won't bloom if they're overfertilized. They can handle a handful of 10-10-10 in late winter, but no more. - After your lilac bush has finished blooming, spread some lime and well-rotted manure around the base. Trim the bush to shape it, and remove suckers at the same time.   Shipping Items will be shipped 1-3 business days of receiving payment. Plants will be shipped via USPS.
