The sweet smell of lilac bushes this time of year is almost as iconic as small town baseball games and backyard barbecues π€©
Their large fragrant flowers ,that range from deep purple to white, have made them a spring favorite for both people and pollinators π¦
Although lilacs are relatively hardy, proper planting and care techniques are important to promote healthy roots and growth. They thrive best in plenty of direct sunlight, well-drained soil, and proper air circulation βοΈ
Since lilacs begin growing the next yearβs buds almost immediately after they finish blooming, itβs important to prune them in late spring once the old flowers have died.
