This dwarf lilac blooms on old wood in the spring and reblooms on the new growth created after the first bloom. For the best rebloom, water it well, but make sure it has good drainage and plenty of sun. Fertilize in early spring and again after the first bloom. Any pruning should be done immediately after the first bloom. This will delay the second bloom by a few weeks. Pruning in fall, winter, or early spring will remove the buds for the spring bloom.

Initial bloom in spring, and reblooms from midsummer to frost. Prune to shape after spring bloom. Remove spent flowers promptly.
