However, don't use a fertilizer that's high in nitrogen, which can lead to poor blooming. Instead, use a balanced fertilizer, following label instructions. There are several types of lilac bushes that vary somewhat in appearance, including:. Pruning is critical for lilacs, both to promote flowering and to ensure air circulation to prevent powdery mildew and other problems.
The right time to prune is just after flowering is over, as lilacs bloom on old wood. Prune branches to thin out the growth for better air circulation and to keep the height of the shrub in check. Cut the oldest branches to the ground, as they won't be strong flower producers anymore, but don't take off more than a third of the total branches.
Also, prune any weak or damaged branches. Anyone who has grown lilacs knows how readily they expand. Most lilacs are clump-forming plants that spread via shoots extending from the trunk. And these shoots can be used for propagation. Not only is this an inexpensive way to gain a new lilac bush, but it also prevents the existing lilac from becoming overcrowded.
The best time to propagate is in the late spring to early summer to give the shoot enough time to become established before cold weather sets in.
To propagate, simply dig down around one of the shoots and cut it from the main plant, keeping the roots intact. Then, replant the shoot in rich soil wherever you wish, and keep its soil lightly moist but not soggy at all times until it's established.
