What season does the lilac bloom?
Do you know about these? The knowledge about the blooming season of lilacs and the introduction of the flowering period of ornamental plants, let's get to know together next. The song "Lilacs" is so touching that it can't help but make people cry. Such beautiful flowers with a faint sadness can't stop many people from liking and growing them, as if they can take away our sadness. I've noticed that many friends who grow lilacs ask when lilacs bloom? How long is the flowering period? Actually, 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-leaf 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 Manchu lilac is 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 to 4 years of sowing. Those propagated by cutting or layering can bloom 2 to 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 the dry season. 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 little rain and the evaporation increases drastically to 230 to 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 few and the growth will be weak. Therefore, it is suitable to plant them in sunny, fertile, and deep-soil areas.
When the weather is dry in spring every year, water thoroughly when the buds start to sprout and before and after flowering. Lilacs do not like too much fertilizer; excessive fertilization can easily cause excessive growth and affect flowering. Generally, applying a matured compost once a year or every other year before winter is enough to supplement the nutrients in the soil. This way, the lilacs will bloom normally.
The above information about the blooming season of lilacs and the introduction of the flowering period of ornamental lilacs, I hope it is helpful to you!
