The sweet smell of lilac bushes this time of year is almost as iconic as small town baseball games and backyard barbecues 🤩
Their large fragrant flowers ,that range from deep purple to white, have made them a spring favorite for both people and pollinators 🦋
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 ☀️
Since lilacs begin growing the next year’s buds almost immediately after they finish blooming, it’s important to prune them in late spring once the old flowers have died.
