Planting a

To ensure optimal growth, it is recommended to amend the soil for better drainage and fertility before planting. Incorporate organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, into the soil to enrich it. 'Miss Kim' lilacs should be planted in the spring or fall, when the weather is mild and ideal for establishing roots. Avoid planting during extreme temperatures or frozen ground. When digging the hole, make sure it is as deep as the root ball and two to three times as wide to promote root development. Gently loosen the roots of the shrub if they are circling the root ball, before placing it in the center of the hole at the same depth as it was in the container. Backfill the hole with soil, gently firming it to remove air pockets. After planting, thoroughly water the lilac to settle the soil and keep it consistently moist, but not waterlogged, during the first growing season. Once established, lilacs can tolerate moderate drought conditions.
