Planting time

Care
- If watered less frequently but thoroughly and penetratingly, the plant roots are stimulated to penetrate into deeper soil layers. This helps the plant to survive periods of drought. - Lilacs flower on biennial wood, so the plant should be thinned out after flowering or plants that have become too large should be pruned.

The magenta-coloured flowers appear in panicles from May to June. They are strongly scented.
