Lilacs are native to eastern Europe and Asia. The colonists brough them to America. They are often planted in groups to form masses of shrubbery hedges. Some famous lilac gardens which display several hundred varieties are the Lemoine gardens ata Nancy, France; the Arnold Arbortum at Jamacia Plains, Mass, the gardens in Highland Park, Rochester, NewYork; and Lilacia Park in Lombard, Ill. Lilacs grow best in full sunlight, nonacid soil, and where there is good drainage. They need a winter freeze to provide a dormant, or rest, period. Single shrubs, given plenty of room, grow full and tall, reaching a height of 10 to 25 feet. For maximum bloom, however, they should be kept to a moderate height. Pruning back young growth to keep the interior open also helps flowering. Source: flowers-cs.com |
