Lilacs are very popular shrubs thanks to their beautiful, fragrant flowers that bloom in late spring. Come fall, that peak performance is behind them, so thoughts may turn to what you can do to help them put on a repeat show next year.
As lilacs are often low-maintenance shrubs, the good news is that there isn’t a lot of essential maintenance you need to do in the fall. There are a few key jobs that can make a difference, but there are also two major tasks to avoid, as they can ruin next year’s flowering display.
