With their lush blooms and deeply floral fragrance, lilacs are a harbinger of summer in the northern garden. Lilacs are easy to grow and can serve a variety of purposes in the garden. For the best flowers, plant lilacs in full sun (6 to 8 hours a day) and in well-drained soil. Lilacs perform really well in slightly alkaline soils. They need ample water, about an inch of water per week. Lilacs should be given adequate space—usually 5 or more feet between plants—to grow to their full size.
