    Lilacs can take up to 3 years to bloom after planting. Any pruning needs to be done in spring, right after they bloom. During summer and fall they are growing the blooming tips for next year, so pruning any later will be cutting off the next flowers.

    Hi Cat, Lilac trees like lots of water and sun. If your soil is on the dry side, you can amend it by adding Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Trees & Shrubs. In the spring, feed them with a good tree and shrub fertilizer. Here's a site that may add some more information: https://www.thespruce.com/lilac-bushes-growing-tips-2132722
