ILACS make fine hedge plants. They are especially 
good in the mixed shrub border or as specimens in 
the garden. They grow in any good soil, but prefer plenty 
of lime and rather deep soil preparation. Occasional 
feedings of bonemeal and cow manure will improve them. 
Pruning should be done immediately after they bloom.
