Korean Lilac – Planting Tips

Plant Korean Lilac in a sunny spot with good air circulation and well-drained soil. Space plants 4–6 feet apart for a hedge or border. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch to conserve moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to shape and encourage next year’s blooms—avoid heavy pruning in fall or winter.
