Planting a

Prepare a hole that is twice the width and depth of the lilac's root ball. Loosen the roots gently before planting to encourage outward growth. Center the lilac in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Fill in the hole with soil, gently firming it around the roots to eliminate air pockets. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil. Add a 2-4 inch layer of mulch around the base of the lilac, leaving space around the stem to prevent moisture-related issues. Mulch aids in retaining soil moisture, suppressing weeds, and regulating soil temperature. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season while the lilac establishes its root system. Once established, lilacs can tolerate some drought, but regular watering during dry spells is still beneficial.
