Planting

Lilacs thrive in soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.0, so testing your soil with a kit from a garden center is recommended. Be sure to work the soil to a depth of 12 inches and remove any rocks or debris. Improve the fertility and drainage of the soil by incorporating organic matter like compost or manure. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the plant's root ball. Carefully remove the plant from its container and place it in the center of the hole, backfilling with soil and gently tamping it down to remove air pockets. Give the lilac a thorough watering to settle the soil and add a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Keep the soil evenly moist by watering regularly, especially during dry spells, even though established lilacs are somewhat tolerant to drought.
