During the summer and fall, the health and growth of your lilac bush depend greatly on two factors: proper watering and keeping the area around the base free from grass and weeds.
Well-established lilacs require a sufficient amount of water and moisture to thrive, ideally around an inch of rainfall per week. In times of drought or prolonged dry spells, watering your lilac can be beneficial in storing energy for next year’s blooming season.
Additionally, it is important to ensure that the area beneath your lilac remains free from grass and weeds. Lilacs do not compete well with other plants for nutrients, and keeping the base mulched and free from other growth can help them produce larger spring bloom sets.
If your lilac grows by itself out in the lawn, it’s best to mulch around its base to prevent the grass from stealing nutrients from the bush. With proper care, you can help your lilac produce beautiful blooms for years to come.
