Planting a

Prior to planting, improve soil drainage and fertility by amending with organic matter, such as compost. Optimal planting times for 'Pocahontas' lilacs are in the early spring or fall when the plant is dormant. Avoid planting during hotter months and ensure the hole is twice as wide and deep as the root ball. Position the plant at the same depth as its nursery container, without overcrowding the roots. To eliminate air pockets, gently firm the soil around the roots and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant for moisture retention, weed suppression, and soil temperature control. Keep the soil consistently moist while the plant establishes its root system, and continue regular watering during dry periods once the plant is established.
