Lilac: planting and care.

Lilac is often planted as a border and ornamental plant in urban park areas and in private household plots. In order for the plant to feel comfortable and delight with its flowering for a long time, when planting lilacs in the ground, certain conditions must be observed:

• The best soil for lilacs is light sandy loam or loam with a neutral or slightly acidic pH level.
• The place for seedlings should be well lit and, if possible, protected from drafts.
• You can not plant lilacs in places with a high location of groundwater, so it is better to choose elevated areas.
• So that in the future the bushes do not interfere with each other, it is better to plant lilac bushes at a distance of at least 2 meters.
• The optimal size of the planting pit for lilacs is 0.5x0.5x0.5 m, however, if fertilizers are applied during planting, its dimensions can be increased.

How to choose lilac seedlings?

The quality of the seedling is of great importance. Particular attention should be paid to the state of the root system. Ideally, lilac roots should be developed, strong, flexible and well branched. If their length is much more than 0.3 m, they are shortened. In addition, broken and diseased roots are removed from the lilac seedling, as well as damaged or too long shoots.

An important condition for rooting and further growth of the bush is the fight against perennial weeds, which take away nutrient juices, and loosening the soil, which provides access to oxygen and moisture to the roots.

When to plant lilac? Spring or autumn?

Lilac planting time depends on the variety: some varieties can be planted in early spring or autumn, other varieties are best planted between July and August.

How to plant lilac?

Drainage is placed at the bottom of the landing hole, which can be expanded clay, small gravel or pebbles. After that, a small cone is poured from the excavated soil, on which the roots of a lilac seedling are straightened. Then the rest of the soil is carefully poured into the hole. It should be remembered that the basal neck of the lilac, when properly planted, should be 3-4 cm above the ground level.

Watering lilacs.

Irrigation has a great influence on the development of lilacs. However, do not overwater the soil, as this can damage the plant. The optimal period for abundant watering is the first half of summer. Lilac should be watered at the rate of 25-30 l / m 2 as the soil dries up. In August and September, the plant should be limited in water nutrition and given only during a long drought.

How to fertilize lilac?

To provide the roots of the plant with the necessary macro- and microelements, mineral and organic fertilizers are applied to the root soil. As a source of nitrogen, necessary to improve the growth of lilac branches and leaves, urea or ammonium nitrate is used. Lilac top dressing should be carried out at the rate of 50-80 grams of fertilizer per bush for the entire growing season in 3 doses, starting in early spring after the snow cover has melted. The break between the introduction of dry top dressing is 25-30 days. Fertilizers are embedded in the soil to a depth of about 8 cm over the entire area of ​​​​the root system. You can also feed lilacs with superphosphate and potash fertilizers. A good result is obtained by alternating fertilizing with mineral and organic fertilizers (cow and chicken droppings).

Lilac cut. How to prune lilac?

Of great importance in shaping the appearance of the bush is the correct regular pruning of lilacs. A young bush up to 3 years old does not need pruning, since it has not yet formed all the skeletal branches. However, starting from the third year of the plant's life in early spring, while the buds are not yet swollen, it is necessary to carry out formative pruning. When performing this operation, you should follow a simple rule: no more than eight healthy buds should be left on each skeletal branch of lilac. This is done in order not to overload the plant during flowering. In addition, it is necessary to remove old, dry, damaged and diseased branches. All operations are performed only with a sharp tool.

During the active flowering of lilacs, pruning is carried out “for a bouquet”. Following the unspoken rule, about 30% of the inflorescences are cut off. After the end of the flowering of lilacs, all wilted brushes are cut off.

Each of us is familiar with lilac bushes. In our country, they indicate the arrival of the warm season, as the plant turns green early. Since May, the culture is covered with beautiful and fragrant white flowers and pleasant and juicy greenery is preserved until late autumn.
