When do Lilacs Bloom
This article introduces you to when lilacs bloom and the brief introduction of the maintenance tips for observing the flowering period of lilacs. The following is a detailed introduction.
The song "Lilacs" is so touching that it can't help but make people shed tears. Such beautiful flowers with a hint of sadness can't stop many people from loving and cultivating them, as if they can take away our sadness. I've noticed that many friends who grow lilacs ask when do lilacs bloom? How long is the flowering period? In fact, there will be a little difference in the flowering time of different varieties of lilacs, but not much. Let's take a look at the flowering time of different varieties of lilacs:
White lilacs bloom from April to May.
Blue lilacs bloom from April to May.
Small-leafed lilacs bloom from late April to early May; in autumn, from late July to early August.
Purple lilacs bloom from April to May, with purple flowers. The flowering period of the horse chestnut lilac is in June, with white flowers. The flowering period of the four-season lilac is from May to October.
All types of purple lilacs, from seedlings, can bloom after 3-4 years of sowing. Those propagated by cutting or layering can bloom 2-3 years after they survive.
Also, note that lilacs do not like water more than other flowers. Lilacs have a strong drought resistance. For example: In the Beijing area, July to September is the rainy season, and other months are dry seasons. Especially from April to June, the temperature quickly rises from 10℃ to about 28℃, at this time various lilacs are rapidly growing and flowering, but there is less rain, and the evaporation increases dramatically to 230-280 millimeters. However, watering the plants twice a month can make all kinds of lilacs grow well with flourishing flowers and leaves.
Lilacs enjoy sunlight, slightly shade-tolerant, moisture-loving, but avoid waterlogging, cold and drought resistant, generally do not need much watering. They require fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil. If planted in a shaded environment, the branches will be thin and weak, the inflorescences short and loose, and the flowers will lack luster. If planted in poor soil, they can still grow, but the flowers will be fewer and the growth will be weak. Therefore, it is best to plant them in sunny, fertile, and deep soil areas.
Every spring when the weather is dry, water thoroughly once when the buds start to germinate and before and after flowering. Lilacs do not like heavy fertilization and excessive fertilization can easily cause excessive growth, affecting flowering. Generally, apply a well-rotted manure once a year or every other winter to replenish the nutrients in the soil. This way, the lilacs will bloom normally.
The above is the experience and knowledge of when lilacs bloom and a brief introduction to the flowering period of lilacs. I hope this article can be of some help to you!
