Favorite of poets
Lilac is a favorite plant of gardeners and people with a poetic spirit. It symbolizes the onset of spring, its fragrance reminds us all of the warm summer days. When a shrub blooms with such bright and fragrant inflorescences as a lilac, the garden is always filled with fragrance.
It grows almost throughout Russia. Depending on the species (there are more than thirty), flowering periods may occur in late May or early June. Lilac belongs to the olive family. Its bush reaches a height of about eight meters (if it is not cut), the crown can be given very aesthetic forms. The lilac is unpretentious and will perfectly accept on the usual neutral soil. An acidic soil can be treated with
dolomite flour or lime every three years.
Groundwater should not lie very high - at a depth of one and a half meters.
The bush blooms more intensely in well-lit places. However, this arrangement is not necessary, lilacs can grow in the shade. For the winter it is not worth sheltering, since its frost resistance is simply legendary. Windy slopes, marshy soils and cold winds are not afraid of lilacs. Although, of course, the clay substrate and increased dampness will not allow the shrub to gain strength and look as good as possible. Lilac seedlings are transferred to a permanent place in late summer or early autumn. The plant needs some time to take root before the onset of cold. For the winter, it is better to mulch the near-stem circle of a young shrub with peat or leaves. Abundantly water the lilac before flowering. Faded brushes should be cut off immediately. You can trim branches at any time of the year.
