Planting/Care Instructions +

Planting Instructions: First, choose a location with moist but well-drained soil. The ‘President Grevy’ lilac does not like acidic soil. Also, be sure the site you choose has good air circulation and full sun for best flowering. Dig a hole approximately 6 inches wider and the same depth as the roots. Place the plant in the hole so that the crown is just above the ground level and gently spread the roots. Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly. Keep the soil moist around the roots. Water more frequently in extreme heat. Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering to increase bloom production the following year. Promptly remove root suckers to maintain a neat appearance and prevent unwanted colonial spread.

Pests or Diseases: Susceptible to powdery mildew so choose a site with good air circulation to prevent this issue.
