What is lilac?
Lilac is a shrub or tree in the genus injection , originally from Eastern Europe and mild regions of Western Asia. Lilacs are extremely popular in gardens around the world and some cultures have specific contexts with these aromatic, short -term flowers. Many garden supplies in mild zones have lilacs, often with several cultivars offered, and it is also possible to order lilacs directly through kindergartens that specialize in these trees and shrubs. With more than 200 named Lilac cultivars to choose from, gardeners have a lot of work. Their flowers can be white to purple, with a particularly distinctive purple shade known as "lilac". Lilacs usually produce conical clusters of flowers, which may occur at the end of spring or in the middle of summer, depending on the area and cultivar and tokiers often disappear rapidly.
The lilacal aroma is very strong and quite unforgettable. These plants like sunny spots in the garden with lots of space for spread and slightly alkaline soil. ColorFlowers may vary slightly, depending on the chemical composition of the soil and the area, which is something to realize when purchasing cultivars of lilac from kindergarten. Water requirements for lilacs vary depending on the climate, while the plants prefer damp but not wet, soil.
lilacal care is quite simple because they do not like it. Lilacs produce flowers on the old wood, and if the lilac is cut, a lot of new green growth will go, but no flowers. As a result, gardeners cut lilacs sparingly and usually immediately after the flow of the plant to give him a chance to recover before the next year. As a result of the lack of pruning, lilacs tend to develop a rifle look that some gardeners consider very pleasant. This large growth habit also makes a lot of space for lilacs very important.
Some gardeners refer to the butterfly shrub in the buddleja jAKO lilac or "summer lilac". Although butterfly shrubs look very much like lilacs, they are not so aromatic and benefit from pruning, they are rather limited at the end of the growing season so that they can give new growth in the following year. Butterfly shrubs also have very different leaves, which makes them identifying them.
