LILACS


PRESIDENT GREVY







COMMON LILAC



Lilacs are best were you get a pronounced chill but there are some that will bloom with a light chill. Light shade is good in very hot areas. They like alkaline soil. After blooming remove spent flowers just above point of flower. Heavy pruning will result in no flowers next year since lilacs form buds where leaves join stems. To keep gettings flowers from old overgrown plants cut a few old stems to the ground each year and then out dead limbs.
