These remarkable plants deliver the traditional spring bloom you love, then continue to delight with a second flush of flowers from mid-summer through fall.

The repeat blooming characteristic means you’ll enjoy the enchanting fragrance of lilacs long after conventional varieties have finished their show.

Success Starts with Proper Planting

Timing Your Planting

In Brighton and the surrounding areas, we recommend planting lilacs either:

• Late fall before the ground freezes
• Early spring after frost danger passes

Location Requirements

Selecting the right location is crucial for lilac success. Choose a spot that receives at least six hours of full sun daily to ensure abundant blooms. Good air circulation is essential for preventing disease, so avoid cramped corners or areas with stagnant air. When planning your layout, consider views from indoor living spaces to maximize enjoyment of your lilacs’ beautiful display. Remember to account for mature size when spacing your plants.

Soil Preparation

Brighton and the surrounding area’s native soil often provides the alkaline conditions lilacs love, but success requires:

• Well-draining soil
• Rich organic matter
• Proper pH (6.5-7.0)
• Regular moisture
