They bloom in purple, white, pink.There are also varieties with bicolor flowers.
Lilac can grow up to 6 m, it is sold in a stalk or shrub form. Its picturesque, wide habit is characteristic for it.
Shrubs prefer sunny positions, but they can also grow in partial shade.Lilac is a plant that is extremely resistant to low temperatures, but it does not like when the substrate is compact and wet.We do not plant new seedlings in places where other lilacs previously grew.
Shrubs can be propagated by collecting dumps from the root suckers of the botanical form.
Lilac is a cut-tolerant plant that is performed one week after all the inflorescences have bloomed.Then trim each shoot below the flower.Older shrubs that lose their leaves from the inside can be strongly shortened.Lilac tolerates even deep cuts to the lignified parts of the shoot. Then a break in flowering should be taken into account. We plant the bushes in spring or autumn.
Lilac is often grown here, for example in parks and home gardens. Inflorescence shoots are perfect for cut flowers, they look very beautiful in vases, where they keep their freshness and nice fragrance for a relatively long time.It is also often grown in rural gardens, it is perfect for a hedge.
When cutting inflorescence shoots into a vase, let's remove all leaves. Thanks to this, the flowers will last longer.
