Pruning Lilacs for Better Blooms
A well-pruned lilac rewards you with fragrant, vibrant flowers year after year.
Thin out dead, diseased, or crossing branches
Deadhead faded blooms just above the next set of leaves
Remove old wood over 3 yearsor all at once for full renovation
Cut suckers low at the base to focus energy on mature stems
Best time to prune: right after spring flowering
Shape today for bigger blooms tomorrow
