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 grown too large should be pruned. - This plant does not tolerate heavy soil. If necessary, the soil structure can be improved when planting by working in sand and mature compost.
