Maintenance:

To ensure the health and beauty of Syringa Dark Purple Standard, follow these maintenance tips:

1. Light Requirements: Plant in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Lilacs thrive in full sun, which promotes optimal flowering, but they can tolerate some shade.

2. Soil Conditions: Provide well-draining soil that is fertile and enriched with organic matter. Lilacs prefer slightly alkaline soil but can tolerate a range of soil types. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

3. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry spells. Deep watering is recommended, allowing the water to reach the root zone. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot and other moisture-related issues.

4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, just as new growth appears. Follow the package instructions for the appropriate dosage. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may result in lush foliage but fewer flowers.

5. Pruning: Prune Dark Purple Standard immediately after flowering by removing spent flower clusters and any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This promotes a tidy shape and encourages new growth for the following season.

6. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. Maintain a gap between the mulch and the main trunk to prevent fungal issues.

7. Pest and Disease Control: Monitor the lilac for common pests, such as aphids or powdery mildew. Treat any infestations promptly with appropriate insecticides or fungicides. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent disease issues.
