CARE OF LILACS 
French Lilacs flourish in good garden soil. They prefer 
plenty of lime and deep planting. Heavy feedings of cow 
manure and bone meal will keep them thriving. Pruning 
of Lilacs should take place immediately after the flowering 
season so that next year’s flower buds have time to form. 
This throws strength into new wood and results in 
stronger branches and larger flowers for next year.
